Actor Mohanlal has done several films with strong patriotic themes and recently he was given an honorary position in the armed forces as honourary Lieutenant Colonel of the Territorial Army. Recently the actor surprised the army jawans by paying a surprise visit to the 122 TA Infantry Battalion stationed at Jammu and Kashmir. The battalion was stationed near the India-Pakistan border and the actor stayed there for three days.

After returning from his visit, he has not only released photos of his stay but also remembered martyrs on the occasion of the Armed Forces Flag Day. He wrote in his Facebook page, “Today is Armed Forces Flag Day… Honour the brave martyrs for their supreme sacrifice, as well as to salute the valiant soldiers, sailors and airmen, both serving and veterans. On Flag Day funds will be collected for the welfare and the rehabilitation of widows and the injured. This day is observed since 1949. We should contribute to Indian Army and we should assure them that we are there to support them.”
