In a tweet posted on Friday, Mangeshkar requested her millions of fans to remember and donate money to the brave soldiers protecting India borders.

She said, ���Every year, on my birthday, thousands of you send me flowers, sweets, cakes, greeting cards��_ This year, I humbly request you all, instead of sending me these things, that money and as much as you can give, please give it to our brave soldier brothers.”

She added,: ���I believe that mother, father, teacher, motherland and the guardians of the motherland, our brave soldiers��_ Whatever we do for them, it is not enough. Our soldiers��_ who don�۪t think twice before sacrificing their lives for protecting our country��_ Because of them we are safe. Hence, it is also our bounden duty to do something for them, whatever we can.”

Elaborating on this, Mangeshkar said, ���I consider the Uri terror attacks as an example of cowardice��_ These perpetrators must be paid back in the same coin��_ That will be a real tribute to all our martyred soldier brothers.”
