Sidharth Malhotra Drops Vikram Batra's Photo On Kargil Vijay Diwas: 'Saluting Your Sacrifice'
On the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas on Saturday, Sidharth Malhotra wished the 'countless brave hearts who stood tall" and 'saluted their sacrifice". The Bollywood actor also shared a picture of Captain Vikram Batra, who was killed while fighting Pakistani troops in the Kargil district of erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir.
Sharing a picture of the army officer, who was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, Sidharth, who played Captain Vikram Batra in the 2021 film 'Shershaah", wrote: 'To the countless brave hearts who stood tall so we could sleep safe and sound, your spirit lives on in every heartbeat of a proud and graceful nation." 'Saluting your sacrifice, today and always. #KargilVijayDiwas," he added.
Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year on July 26, to observe India's victory over Pakistan in the Kargil War for ousting Pakistani Forces from their occupied positions on the mountain tops of the Northern Kargil District in Ladakh in 1999.
Talking about 'Shershaah", a biographical war drama film directed by Vishnuvardhan, the film stars Sidharth Malhotra in a dual role as Indian Army Captain Vikram Batra and his twin brother Vishal, alongside Kiara Advani as Dimple Cheema.
The narrative follows Batra's journey from a young cadet to a decorated officer in the Kargil War, culminating in his martyrdom during Operation Vijay in 1999. The film emerged as a major digital success and became the most-watched Indian film on Amazon Prime Video in India at the time of its release.
In other news, Sidharth on July 16 officially announced the arrival of his first bundle of joy, a baby girl with wife Kaira Advani and said that their 'world" has 'forever changed." Sidharth took to Instagram, where he shared an announcement post in pink from his and Kiara's behalf. The post read: 'Our hearts are full and our world forever changed. We are blessed with a Baby Girl. KIARA & SIDHARTH." For the caption, Sidharth dropped a heart, namaste and evil eye emoji.
It was on July 15 when the news about the arrival of their baby girl started doing the rounds. The couple announced their pregnancy in February this year, and the actress was due in August. However, a few days ago, the couple were spotted at a maternity medical facility, raising concerns about the mother and the child. The actress was taken to H. N. Reliance Hospital in the Girgaon area of Mumbai for her delivery.
The couple tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony in February 2023 after dating for several years. While the two prefer to keep their personal lives lowkey, they make sure to surprise their fans with their occasional PDA on social media.

Hulk Hogans cause of death was heart attack, medical examiner says
Clearwater, Jul 31 (AP) Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan died of a heart attack last week, according to a Florida medical examiner's report released Thursday. Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, the report from the District Six Medical Examiner said. Hogan, 71, was pronounced dead at a hospital less than 90 minutes after medics arrived at his home in Clearwater, Florida to answer a call about a cardiac arrest on the morning of July 24, police said. Hogan was perhaps the biggest star in WWE's long history, known for both his larger-than-life personality and his in-ring exploits. He was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years, facing everyone from Andre The Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and even WWE co-founder Vince McMahon.
