Former Indian Air Force (IAF) air chief, Sachin Tendulkar, praised the Netflix India series Operation Safed Sagar, stating that it made him appreciate the sacrifices of the IAF personnel during the 1999 Kargil War. Tendulkar, who became an honorary Group Captain in 2010, shared a throwback photo with real-life former IAF Chief of Staff BS Dhanoa, portrayed by Jimmy Shergill in the series.
