Harmanpreet Kaur, Captain of the Indian Women’s Cricket team, said, “It is an honor to be recognized as an ‘Asli Yodha’ by Colors Cineplex. Cricket has always been more than a game for me—it’s a way to serve my country and make my fellow Indians proud. I share this recognition with every girl who dreams of wearing the Indian jersey.”

Col Rajeev Bharwan, Indian Army Veteran, says, “Being called an ‘Asli Yodha’ is a profound honor. Every soldier in the Indian Army serves with the sole aim of protecting our motherland and ensuring its safety. This recognition is not just mine but belongs to every brave soldier who stands guard at our borders.”

Afroz Shah, environmental activist and lawyer, best known for organizing the world’s largest beach clean-up project, said, “Being part of the ‘Asli Yodha’ campaign is a great privilege. Just as our beach clean-ups aim to restore and protect the environment, this campaign celebrates those who have dedicated their lives to serving and uplifting our nation. By highlighting these stories, Colors Cineplex inspires us all to contribute positively and embody the true spirit of bravery and resilience.”
