Writing an emotional and heartfelt letter for her ‘Paltan’, Priyanka admitted that ‘Rise & Fall Season 2’ has been one of the most ‘intense and unforgettable’ journeys of her life. “It gave me laughter, tears, challenges, beautiful memories and moments that tested me in ways I never expected (Sic)”, he wrote on her official handle.

Thanking her ‘Paltan’ for always being by her side, she added, “And through it all, knowing that you were standing by me gave me a strength I can’t explain. Thank you for seeing me beyond the person you saw on your screens. Thank you for understanding my silences, celebrating my happiness, standing by me through my lows and loving me through every version of myself.”

The ‘Naagin’ actress added that she embarked on this journey hoping to win, but she found something far more precious — ‘you all’. ‘You became my strength, my support and, in so many ways, my family outside that house. Whatever the result, I truly feel like I’ve already won something that no trophy can ever replace — your love.”, her letter further read. Priyanka also urged all to believe in themselves. “Remember, Paltan, the journey has come to an end, but I know this is only the beginning of so many beautiful things to come. Keep that love, keep that faith and keep that energy coming. I love you more than words can say. Your Priyanka’, she signed off.

Mumbai : Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has quashed the rumours about the Government of India pressurising him to change the script of his upcoming war-drama ‘Maatrubhumi’. On Friday, Salman attended a special event for the film along with his co-actors in the Andheri West area of Mumbai. He told the media, “So, this narrative that we are going against China, and our government has put pressure on us to change its script, and rewrite it, all this is nonsense. It’s not true at all. We have made a film on soldiers, their families, and what they go through, what the soldiers from both sides go through. So, there are no negative forces in this”.

“These are just circumstances. Circumstances are negative. And how these soldiers, their nation comes first. They like each other, but then when a situation comes, the nation comes first. And both the sides are trying to solve this”, he added.

The film, which was earlier titled ‘Galwan’, is based on the Galwan stand-off between India and its expansionist neighbour, China on June 15, 2020 during the thick of the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in India. The Indian and Chinese troops clashed in the Galwan Valley, eastern Ladakh. It was part of a larger border standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The clash turned violent when both sides attempted to patrol disputed areas. The fighting resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers, while China also suffered casualties. This was the deadliest India–China face-off in over four decades, escalating tensions and prompting both nations to increase troop deployments and engage in diplomatic talks to avoid further conflict. Currently, India and China have mended their relationship, and have opened multiple channels as a part of diplomacy.
