J&K braveheart being played by Shraddha Kapoor says she’ll now need security

Published

on

Award-winning actress Shraddha Kapoor of ‘Haider’ and ‘Chhichhore’ fame will reportedly play the role of J&K braveheart Rukhsana Kausar in an upcoming movie.

Back in 2009, Rukhsana Kausar, who’s from Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district, was in her 20s when she killed LeT terrorist Abu Osama with an axe and forced his accomplices to flee by firing at them after snatching a rifle from them.

Rukhsana was with her mother and brother when this incident took place.

The terrorists had raided their house and started beating up Rukhsana’s family members. She was hiding under a bed at the time of the attack. Mustering courage, she emerged from her hiding place and struck back.

The act of bravery made her a real-life hero. People across the country saluted her courage. She became a role model for many.

Rukhsana was awarded a Kirti Chakra and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke glowingly about her gallantry.

Today, Rukhsana is a police constable, married to a police officer and a mother of three daughters.

In an interview she said that she is feeling good that a film is being made to showcase her bravery. “It needed bravery and courage to kill a terrorist with an axe,” she said.

Recalling that night, Rukhsana said the terrorists, after barging into their house, had started beating up her father for no reason.

“They beat up my father. When my mother tried to intervene, they beat her up also. Blood started oozing from her mouth, my brother ran to help, but they beat him up as well. He fell down and started crying,” Rukhsana said.

“They came looking for me in the other room, but they couldn’t find me as I was hiding under a cot. After some time, I thought if they killed my three family members, there was no reason for me to live. I came out slowly and found an axe lying there, I used it to neutralise Osama,” the braveheart said.

She said he was sitting with his back towards her when she hit him with the axe.

Rukhsana added that earlier she was given protection, but she eventually gave it up. She said her husband is a brave man and her source of strength.

“I keep a weapon with me for 24 hours, but now that a film is being made on me, there will be more threats directed at me. I request the SSP and DIG that I must be provided protection,” Rukhsana said.

She said her message to women of Jammu and Kashmir is that they must keep up their determination.

“We are not weak. The daughters of Jammu and Kashmir are very brave,” she said.

“My daughter who is 11 years old tells me that she wants to perform similar acts of bravery. My daughters tell me that they are all Rukhsanas.”

Actor Hrithik Roshan penned a heartfelt and romantic birthday wish for his girlfriend, actress Saba Azad, saying that even the longest journeys become special adventures when he is with her.

Taking to Instagram, the ‘War’ actor shared a beautiful note in which he compared travelling with Saba to choosing a flight with several stopovers over a direct journey. He said he would happily pick the longer route every time if it meant having her by his side. The actor explained that every ordinary moment, wait and unexpected turn becomes an adventure in Saba’s company.

Sharing their romantic photos, the ‘Krrish’ actor wrote, “Someone asked me about you. I said I don’t wanna talk about you cause it’s too precious. She insisted and I said this .. “Well, how about this? Say if there were 2 options for flights from mumbai to a far off destination, one was a direct flight. Efficient and easy!”

“And another one that went via 8 random cities with hours of transit time each stop with possibilities of missing connecting flights. If it was with her…” I said, “I’d pick the 2nd option… deliberately… every single time. Cause with you Sa, every mundane, every wait, every deviation from the normal inevitability turns into a dance of adventures. Let’s adventure on my birthday girl. Here’s to a lifetime of long layovers together. I love you Happy Birthday,” he added.

The carousel of photographs also featured candid pictures of Saba along with some cherished moments shared with Hrithik. In one of the pictures, the couple was seen enjoying ice creams together. The final photograph showed Saba striking a happy pose with Hrithik’s sons, Hrehaan and Hridhaan.

Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad reportedly began dating in late 2021 or early 2022 after connecting on social media. Their interaction began when Hrithik praised one of Saba’s videos on X (formerly Twitter), following which the two exchanged direct messages and later met through a mutual friend.

The couple made their first public appearance together in May 2022 when they arrived hand-in-hand at filmmaker Karan Johar’s 50th birthday celebration. They marked five years of togetherness in October 2026.

On Thursday, a special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court had sent 11 other accused arrested in connection with the firing on Shroff’s car to police custody till November 6.

Earlier in the day, the Mumbai Police had produced Amar before a court, which sent him to police custody until November 6.

According to the preliminary investigation, Amar is a friend and neighbour of Kunal, who was arrested earlier in the case. Police investigations have revealed that Kunal allegedly transferred Rs 40,000 to Amar’s bank account.

Amar subsequently transferred Rs 12,000 to Radha’s bank account, another accused arrested earlier, allegedly on Kunal’s instructions.

The Mumbai Police are investigating these financial transactions to establish the purpose of the transfers and determine the connections between the accused. The money trail is being examined as part of the wider investigation into the firing incident.

Amar, who studied up to Class 10, works at a supplements shop. His parents reportedly earn their livelihood through daily-wage labour.

Meanwhile, Amar’s family has claimed that he is innocent and alleged that he has been falsely implicated in the case.

With nine of the 12 arrested accused reportedly belonging to Sonipat, the district has emerged as a key focus of the Mumbai Police investigation.
