Ayushmann Khurrana penned a poem in Hindi dedicated to the martyrs. He wrote: “Desh ka har jawan bohut khas hai, hai ladta jab tak sans hai, parivaron ke sukhon ka karawas hai, shahidon ki maaon ka anant upavas hai, unke bachhon ko kehte suna hai– papa abhi bhi humare paas hai. #JaiHind #JaiJawan #Handwara.”
देश का हर जवान बहुत ख़ास है,
है लड़ता जब तक श्वास है,
परिवारों के सुखों का कारावास है,
शहीदों की माओं का अनंत उपवास है,
उनके बच्चों को कहते सुना है –
पापा अभी भी हमारे पास हैं!-आयुष्मान#JaiHind #JaiJawan #Handwara
