Accompanied by IG BSF, D K Upadhayaya, Patekar, 65, remembered jawans at the BSF frontier headquarter.
“The soldiers are our real heroes, they fight battle everyday to protect the integrity of the nation,” Patekar said while interacting with the jawans of Border Security Force (BSF) in Kathua district.
Patekar, who was on a day-long visit to the Indo-Pak International border (IB) in Hiranagar and Kathua, appreciated the hardships and sacrifices being made by the BSF jawans during the recent cross-border firing.
He is second actor after Akshay Kumar to visit BSF troops in Jammu and pay tributes to the soldiers.
