Bollywood has given us some landmark war films over time, that have inspired and touched the entire nation. The movies live in our hearts rent-free. There are few Bollywood actresses who have aced their characters as the love interest of the brave Army officers on screen. The audience absolutely loved their performances. These actresses touched a chord with the audience.
Bollywood actresses who have played the love interest of brave martyrs on screen:
Kiara Advani – Shershaah
Kiara’s character was inspired by the real-life Dimple Cheema, the love interest of Captain Vikram Batra who was martyred in the Kargil War. She played the role with utter simplicity and won massive appreciation for the same. While each one of us cried along with Kiara in Mann Bharrya 2.0, we couldn’t get over how she portrayed every emotion in the film.
Katrina Kaif – Jab tak Hain Jaan
The gorgeous Katrina Kaif played the character of Meera in the romantic drama Jab Tak Hain Jaan. Kaif played the love interest of captain Samar Anand who is a bomb disposal specialist in the Indian Army. While their love story is one of our all-time favourites we couldn’t take our eyes off Katrina who just won our hearts with her soothing screen presence.
Saiee M Manjrekar – Major
The 2022 biographical film Major, is based on the life of martyr Sandeep Unnikrishnan who lost his life during the unforgettable 26/11 crisis. Saiee M Manjrekar appeared in the film as Isha the love interest of lead character Sandeep played by Adivi Sesh. Saiee’s character which had her own ups and lows was played with so much ease that truly was worth the appreciation. So Saiee is also one of the Bollywood actresses who played the love interest of an Army Man onscreen.
Preity Zinta – Lakshya:
Preity Zinta was seen playing the role of a war journalist in Farhan Akhtar’s coming-of-age war drama Lakshya starring Hrithik Roshan. The complex love story is one of the touching parts of the movie and we love how after so much conflict they reunite in the end that we had been rooting for since the start. Preity was remarkable in the film and the unsaid chemistry between her and Hrithik was simply magical.
Sonakshi Sinha – Holiday: A Soldier is never off duty
Sonakshi played the love interest of Akshay Kumar in the action thriller Holiday: A Soldier is never off Duty. We loved the duo and their chemistry on screen and the bittersweet relationship between them. Sonakshi impressed the audience with the emotional rollercoaster she undergoes while in love with a soldier. Sona is another Bollywood actresses who played the role of an army man’s love interest.
