Divyanka Tripathi Visits Army School On Kargil Vijay Diwas, Says ‘Dreamt Of Wearing The Uniform'
On Kargil Vijay Diwas, TV actress Divyanka Tripathi and her husband Vivek Dahiya visited the Combat Army Aviation Training School and shared pictures with Col Jaskar Choudhary. On the special occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas, TV actress Divyanka Tripathi, along with her husband Vivek Dahiya, decided to go for a very special meet-up as they visited the Combat Army Aviation Training School in Nashik. The actress took to her social media to share a series of pictures from her meeting with their friend and acting officer, Col Jaskar Choudhary. While sharing these pictures, the actress penned a heartfelt note and shared how she once had a dream of becoming a soldier. Divyanka wrote, 'Our visit to the Combat Army Aviation Training School in Nashik hit differently — a place where valour is taught, not told. During heartfelt conversations with our friend, an acting officer — Col Jaskar Choudhary — we were filled with awe at the grit it takes to serve." 'From running on sheer passion to sacrificing comfort for the country, these soldiers remind us what true service looks like," she continued. While sharing how she had once dreamt of wearing the uniform, Divyanka revealed, 'I once dreamt of wearing the uniform… perhaps one day I'll live it on screen. But today, I lived it through their stories. A nostalgia for something I never had, and a pride I'll always carry." 'Let's strive to be citizens worthy of their sacrifices. To the ones who gave it all — we remember, we salute. Jai Hind. #KargilVijayDiwas," she concluded. Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed every year on 26th July to commemorate India's victory over Pakistan in the Kargil War of 1999. After weeks of intense combat in extremely harsh conditions, the Indian Army successfully pushed back the intruders and reclaimed all occupied positions. The day honours the bravery and sacrifice of Indian soldiers who fought valiantly during the conflict. Memorial events are held across the country, especially at the Kargil War Memorial in Dras, Ladakh, where tributes are paid to the fallen heroes. Meanwhile, Divyanka Tripathi stepped into the entertainment industry with her debut serial Yeh Dil Chahe More in 2005. She gained significant recognition with the TV series Banoo Main Teri Dulhann, where she skillfully portrayed the dual roles of Vidya and Divya. Yet, it was her iconic role as Dr. Ishita in the StarPlus hit Yeh Hai Mohabbatein that truly cemented her status as a household name. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'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.
