Neha Dhupia in Kargil

Neha Dhupia is in Kargil and going to spend 10 more days in the company of Jawans. The 31-year-old said, “Independence is very important to me. I’ll be going to Kargil, the Line of Control, and believe it or not, I am going to spend the next 10 days with our army soldiers. It’s going to be very exciting to spend the days there.”

Neha herself belongs to an army background. Her father, Commander Pradip Singh Dhupia, used to serve for the Indian Navy. She studied in Naval Public School and then was transferred to Army Public School, New Delhi.

Dhupia is also involved in the charity work with the Concern India Foundation, an NGO which assists lower income women and children as well as the elderly. She has run in the Mumbai Marathon to support the charity and helped to raise over 5 lakhs. She also helped to raise money for victims of the 2011 Sikkim earthquake. The former Miss India was last seen in the movie Maximum.

Few days back on Kargil Diwas, Bollywood celebrities like Abhishek Bachchan, Smriti Irani, Vishal Malhotra, Ranvijay Singh showed their respect through Twitter and saluted the Indian soldiers who fought bravely for victory over Pakistan in Kargil 13 years back.
