My thoughts are with the family and colleagues of #WingCommanderAbhinandan
Here's hoping he's back soon. And that our soldiers remain safe – because ultimately, it's their families that are affected and have to deal with the pain- the public moves on.

Apart from these celebs, many well-known personalities including Gul Panag, Raj Thackeray, and Ashok Pandit also tweeted about Abhinandan’s safe return. Just a while back, a new video surfaced on the internet wherein the Indian pilot is seen saying that the Pakistani army men are gentlemen and that he is being taken care of. This new video has also gone viral on the web. Though currently there is tension brewing India and Pakistan, let’s hope it doesn’t come in the way of saving Abhinandan Varthman’s life.
