In a hugely inspiring video shared on his Twitter account, Gambhir has asked fans to greet Indian soldiers whenever they come across them.
In the video, Gambhir has put across a clear message that civilians should keep aside their 'Jhijhak' (apprehensions) when they come across a solider. People should shake the army personnel's hands, say thank you and if possible take selfies with them. All in all, the men in uniform should be made feel special.

Not long ago, the Kolkat Knight Riders skipper announced that his foundation will "take care of the entire educational expenses" of the children of Indian soldiers martyred in the Sukma Maoist attack in Chhattisgarh.
For every slap on my army's Jawan lay down at least a 100 jihadi lives. Whoever wants Azadi LEAVE NOW! Kashmir is ours. #kashmirbelongs2us

Gambhir had also expressed his anger after seeing the viral videos showing CRPF jawans in Kashmir being kicked and beaten by civilians. He tweeted on the matter saying, "For every slap on my army's Jawan lay down at least a 100 jihadi lives. Whoever wants Azadi LEAVE NOW!
Kashmir is ours," and "Anti-Indians hav forgotten dat our flag also stands 4: saffron - fire of our anger, white - shroud for jihadis, green - hatred 4 terror."
