It said: “They never saw the nights you cried in silence, a month and a half of storms inside you.

But you chose grace over noise, and you let your plea speak the truth…”
He added: “But courage was sewn into every step. You didn’t just play the game: you led, you rose, you inspired… Today you weren’t just outstanding, you were unwavering, fierce, free. You didn’t survive the storm, Smriti, you became what strength looks like to me.”
