Anushka Sharma isn’t just slaying it on screen or standing by her cricket-legend hubby Virat Kohli – she’s also got the pride of the uniform running deep in her DNA. With an army officer for a dad and a love for the country that screams louder than a stadium full of fans, Anushka’s patriotism just hit a new high.
Anushka Sharma believes army men are real heroes and not Bollywood heroes.
While most of B-town is busy promoting films and fashion, Anushka Sharma is out here giving real hero energy. Recently, she sent the internet into a proud-teary meltdown by liking a hard-hitting post that said what a lot of us think but don’t always say: ““Days like these remind us that Army men are the true heroes, not Bollywood stars or cricketers.”

The now-viral post made waves by reminding everyone that glitz and glam can never match boots on the ground. Anushka backing it up—despite being a Bollywood powerhouse and married to one of India’s biggest cricket icons – is proof that she’s all heart, no ego.
When Patriotism Runs In The Blood
Let’s not forget, this isn’t new territory for Anushka. She’s always repped the olive green with pride. As the daughter of Colonel (Retd.) Ajay Kumar Sharma, who’s battled it out in the thick of operations like Blue Star and Kargil, Anushka knows firsthand what sacrifice and service look like. She’s lived it, felt it, and never forgotten it.
In a throwback chat that still gives goosebumps, Anushka once opened up about her memories from the Kargil War. At just 11, she watched her mom glued to the TV, praying for good news. It was fear, pride, and resilience all wrapped into one and it’s shaped who she is today.
While Instagram’s often a playground for aesthetics and filters, Anushka made it a platform for purpose. She recently dropped a heartfelt story saluting the Indian Armed Forces, calling them the true protectors of the nation. “Eternally grateful,” she wrote and we felt that in our bones.
What’s next for anushka?
On the work front, Anushka has been keeping a low profile since her last big-screen outing in Zero (2018). But make no mistake, she’s not done. She’s already wrapped up Chakda ‘Xpress, the much-anticipated biopic on cricketer Jhulan Goswami, and we’re just waiting for the release date to drop. Until then, she’s clearly focused on things that matter—both personally and patriotically.
Final Word: Daughters Of India, Born To Inspire
Anushka’s recent move is more than just a ‘like’ on a post—it’s a reminder that stardom means nothing if it doesn’t come with substance. She’s the perfect mix of silver screen sparkle and soldier’s strength. And honestly? That’s the kind of hero we all need.
Salute, soldier’s daughter. You’ve got all our respect. ???
