Bollywood cheered up with joy when Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was released from Pakistan after 60 hours.
Varthaman returned home from Pakistan on Friday to a hero's welcome, two days after he was captured following a dogfight when his MiG 21 was shot down.
Abhinandan Varthaman was captured by Pakistani authorities on February 27 after an air combat between the air forces of the two countries, a day after New Delhi had conducted counter-terror operations in Pakistan's Balakot.
The long drawn day which swung between hope and despair ended with joy as Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman walked back into India with his head held high. The smiling face of the IAF pilot, who returned to India after almost 60 hours in Pak captivity, was a huge sigh of relief for the nation, that awaited his arrival with bated breath.
