Priyanka undergoes army training


The actress decided to visit army camps at Tenga, Tejpur near the Assam and Arunachal Pradesh border and even interacted with jawans at the border and tried her hand at some of the army training sessions herself. “I feel lucky to be a part of independent India.

We have freedom of choice, speech and the independence to dream and actually achieve. The freedom to be who and what we want. I salute our forefathers who have given us this chance,” says Priyanka adding, “I had great time. I never thought it would be as nostalgic as it was.

I went through an emotional period in the duration of those two days. It’s something I’ll cherish for a long time. The most special moment was at the bonfire, hanging around with them, chatting about their experiences.”

What’s more, on the earnest request of the jawans, Priyanka also sang some soul stirring songs on freedom from Hindi classic movies, her favourite song being Kar chale hum fida jaan aur tan saathiyo, abb tumhare hawale watan saathiyo.
