The Story in Brief
Saif Ali Khan visited the Indian Army in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir, as chief guest for NDTV’s Independence Day programme Jai Jawan. The actor cooked pooris with soldiers, played guitar, and played cricket with them. He also visited the Kaman Aman Setu (Bridge of Peace) on the Jhelum river, built by the Indian Army in six hours. Dressed in a bulletproof jacket, he rode a Casper vehicle, trekked, and shot at the gun range, calling the experience “tiring” but exciting. NDTV reports the full coverage will air on August 15 at noon.
The Indian Opinion
Celebrity visits to the front lines often get dismissed as mere photo ops or PR stunts. But Saif Ali Khan’s day in Uri, cooking pooris with jawans, playing guitar, and playing cricket, suggests a more genuine engagement than a handshake-and-smile event. The real test will be whether such visits, organised by a news channel, spark lasting public attention to the soldiers' daily lives or remain a one-day spectacle.
