Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty joined the Independence Day celebrations with Border Security Force (BSF) jawans at an event organised by India Today’s sister channel Aaj Tak. In the event, she spoke about the bravery and dedication of the jawans.

Shetty, who visited the India-Pakistan border, shared her experience in an emotional post on Instagram, in which she emphasised on the immense courage of those protecting the country.

“Very few people get the chance to witness the courage and dedication of those who defend our country with unwavering resolve along the India-Pakistan border. Watching them in action is a humbling reminder of the sacrifices they make every day, which often go unnoticed, but never unappreciated,” Shetty wrote in his post.

The actor further added, “I am proud to be an Indian and today, as we celebrate our Independence, I feel immense gratitude towards these heroes. Happy Independence Day.”
