As we celebrate yet another beautiful and glorious year of Independence, let us look back at 5 of our beloved Bollywood actors who played the role of soldiers. They did not only just act but also brought the character to life for the way they molded themselves into it. Check it out.
Vicky Kaushal in URI: The Surgical Strike
Vicky has played several roles and more than once has he been seen in the role of an army soldier. However, the one role that truly stayed with us was in "Uri: The Surgical Strike". No one could have pulled this role better than Vicky. He truly showed the exact emotion a soldier has to go through when he loses his loved ones and the way he honored the uniform was commendable.

Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty and Puneet Issar in "Border"
A movie that spoke volumes! Right from the song "Sandese Aate Hain" to the way actors showed their love towards "dharti-ma" is commendable. Every single actor who honoured the role of a military soldier made us feel what an army officer goes through while we sleep peacefully in our homes.

Sidharth Malhotra in "Shershaah"
Though Sid was in a biopic but this was a pleasant surprise with how perfect he looked as an army officer. Every dialogue delivery, every moment when he was wearing that uniform, all we could think was that Sidharth totally nailed this role. He made all his fans proud.
