The three-year-old daughter of a martyred soldier is winning hearts over social media by explaining the true meaning of "army" as her father had explained to her. Naina's father Major Akshay Girish Kumar was martyred in a terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir's Nagrota in 2016.
In a video posted by Kumar's mother, Meghna Girish, which has gone viral, Naina is graciously seen informing everyone the meaning of "Army".
"Army is to make us love. Army is to fight with bad uncles. Army is to help us not get afraid. Army is some who does Jai Hind to everyone," Naina can be heard saying
In the post, Naina's grandmother wrote that "this random video captures innocence and faith. Love is an emotion. Her papa's love for the Army and Countrymen also stays within her".
