# Anupam Kher disturbed by Ladakh video disrespecting Army 2026-08-20T12:04:57+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Veteran actor Anupam Kher said he was deeply disturbed by a viral video from Ladakh in which a woman identifying herself as Gen Z speaks disrespectfully to Army personnel. In an Instagram post, Kher said he felt compelled to share the patriotic song 'Sena Ki Jai' from his film 'Tanvi The Great', which he has been receiving as a forward from defence personnel and Army officers. The video, circulating on social media, reportedly shows a woman confronting security personnel after being stopped at a barricade in Minamarg. She questions restrictions on tourists and compares them with the situation in Kashmir, saying, 'We are Gen Z, we'll not tolerate this nonsense.' Kher said the real Gen Z is about courage, discipline, service and respect, and shared the song that the Army itself is forwarding. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Ladakh video taps into a recurring tension between security restrictions in border areas and the expectations of tourists. Kher's response is notable because it reframes the Gen Z label as a patriotic rather than confrontational identity, using his film's song as a counter-symbol. The incident is unlikely to trigger any official action, but it reinforces how viral clips can quickly become flashpoints in the ongoing debate over nationalism and dissent, especially when the Army is involved. ## Coverage - assamtribune.com The article reports Kher's reaction and the viral video without commentary or editorialising.
