The actor further says that he has been asked to deliver these 4 beautiful lines for Indian soldiers. He then recites, "When someone asks you what you do, say with pride that I protect the country. If someone asks you how much you earn, smile slightly and say, I earn the blessings of 1.4 billion people. And if they turn around and ask you again, Aren't you ever afraid? Look them in the eye and say, those who attack us feel it (sic)."

SRK further urges the audience to take a step towards peace. He says, "Let us forget the caste, creed, and discrimination around us and walk the path of humanity so that the martyrdom of our heroes for the peace of our country is not in vain."
