‘Forces are feeling seen’: Kargil veteran’s unexpected message to Operation Safed Sagar creator
Kushal Srivasatava, one of the unsung heroes behind Netflix India's new period war drama Operation Safed Sagar, has shared an unexpected message with the creator of the show. The filmmaker, a veteran of the Indian Air Force (IAF), brings his firsthand experience to the portrayal of the IAF in the 1999 Kargil War. Kushal quit the IAF after six years to pursue a career in filmmaking, but his understanding of the service's brotherhood and code of conduct remained strong.
This deep connection to the IAF is evident in the show's authentic depiction of its characters and the balance between duty to the nation and life beyond the forces.
