Siddharth celebrates 'Band of Brothers' from Operation Safed Sagar
An actor named Siddharth made a happy post online with pictures of his friends from a new show.
The show is called 'Operation Safed Sagar: The Untold Story of the Kargil War.'
It is about a war between India and Pakistan in 1999 in a place called Kargil.
During that war, the Indian Air Force helped the Indian Army by flying planes in a special mission.
That mission was given the code name Operation Safed Sagar.
Siddharth called his co-stars his 'band of brothers' and said they became friends for life.
He even used fun nicknames for them in his message.
The show also has other actors like Dia Mirza, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Adil Hussain.
It was the first time in many years that the Air Force used planes on a large scale in that area.
Actor Siddharth shared pictures of his co-stars, calling them his 'band of brothers' from Operation Safed Sagar.
The group includes Abhay Verma, Taaruk Raina, Mihir Ahuja, Arnav Bhasin and Jimmy Sheirgill.
The series, based on the Indian Air Force's Operation Safed Sagar mission, also stars Dia Mirza, Adil Hussain, Harssh A. Singh and Pawan Chopra, among others.
Operation Safed Sagar was a combined arms operation by the Indian Air Force supporting the Indian Army during the 1999 Kargil War to flush out Pakistani troops from vacated Indian positions.
