Amid the ongoing cross-border tension between India and Pakistan where the neighbouring country carried out missile attacks at several places in India after the Indian armed forces specifically targeted nine terror sites in Pakistan, Indian comedian Samay Raina has shared an emotional note describing his phone call with his father who stays in Jammu, one of the places under attack.

He took to Instagram and wrote in his stories, “My father calls me one last time tonight from Jammu to say goodnight. His voice, steady and calm, urges me to sleep and not worry—the Indian armed forces have everything under control. His calmness quiets my restless thoughts.”

He added, “I switch off the lights in my Mumbai home and walk to the window to draw the curtains. Outside my window, my neighbor’s lights still glow. I know little about him, that’s just how it is here. I wonder if he, too, has family in Jammu, perhaps in Pathankot or if he might be the son of a brave soldier, who won’t sleep tonight, waiting for a morning call from his father on the front lines.”

He signed off by lauding the Indian armed forces and wrote, “My utmost respect to the armed forces and their families for all the sacrifices they make for our safety. Goodnight. Jai Hind”.

Anupam Kher also shared a clip on his social media account and mentioned about his call with his cousin brother.

He wrote, “My cousin brother #SunilKher sent this video from his home in Jammu. I called immediately and asked him if he and his family are ok? He laughed a little proudly and said, भैया! हम भारत में है! हम हिंदुस्तानी है।हमारी सुरक्षा भारतीय सेना और माता वैष्णो देवी कर रही है।आप टेंशन मत लो।वैसे भी कोई भी मिसाइल हम ज़मीन पर नहीं लगने दे रहे।” जय माता की! भारत माता की जय! (Brother, we are Indian and we are being protected by the Indian army and Mata Vaishno Devi. So, don’t worry. We neutralised their missiles anyway. Long live India.)”

The tension between India and Pakistan escalated after terrorists from the neighbouring country killed 26 innocent civilians. India then retaliated by striking down nine terrorist sites in Pakistan.
