Priyanka Chopra, the reigning queen of Indian cinema celebrates the spirit of the 60th year of Indian Independence with the Jawans of Indian Army for a specially conceived and conceptualized show - JAI JAWAN by NDTV.
"I feel lucky to be a part of independent India. By independence, we have freedom of choice, speech and the independence to dream and achieve. The freedom to be who and what we want. I salute our forefathers who have given us this chance", said, Priyanka Chopra.
Priyanka Chopra visited army camps at Tenga, Tejpur near the Assam and Arunachal Pradesh border and interacted with Jawans at the border and also tried her hand at some of the practices that the Jawans undergo during their training session.
She further added, "I had a great time at Jai Jawan. Never thought it would be as nostalgic as it was. I went through a series of emotions during those two days. Its something I'll cherish for a long time. The most special moment was at the bonfire... chatting with them about their experiences."
On the earnest request of the jawans, Priyanka also sang some soul stirring songs on freedom from Hindi classic movies. Her all time favourite is "Kar chale hum fida jaan aur tan saathiyo, abb tumhare hawale watan saathiyo."
