Dia Mirza: Operation Safed Sagar Took Me Back to 1999

In 1999, there was a war in a place called Kargil.

The Indian Air Force, the part of the military that flies planes, played a very important role in that war.

A new Netflix show called Operation Safed Sagar tells the story of those pilots and their families.

A famous actress named Dia Mirza is in the show.

She plays the wife of a pilot named Tony Dhanoa.

Dia was only 17, not even 18, when the war happened.

Back then, people knew a lot about what happened on the ground, but almost nothing about what happened in the sky.

Making the show taught her how much focus, discipline and skill it takes to fly and fight.

Real military families have watched it and said, "This is us."

The show helps us understand the courage, love and sacrifice of the people who serve and the families who support them.
