Samay on call with his father
Samay took to his Instagram Stories to share details about his phone call with his father, who is in Jammu.
He wrote, “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. I switch off the lights in my Mumbai home and walk to the window to draw the curtains. Outside my window, my neighbour’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. My utmost respect to the armed forces and their families for all the sacrifices they make for our safety. Goodnight. Jai Hind," Samay added.
In another story, Samay wrote, “My prayers with everyone in Jammu. Sleep peacefully and believe in the Indian Army. Jai Hind”.
