Bollywood actor Rohit Roy has pulled on the uniform in three projects — LOC: Kargil and Paltan (2018), and a television show Tujhpe Dil Kurbaan. In an interview with a leading daily, he says he had a sense of pride every single time.

Recalling the shoot days of LOC, the actor revealed that the director JP Dutta didn’t allow any actor to wear casual clothes during the shoot. He said, “You feel like a soldier on the front when working with him. The moment we reach the hotel, we get rid of our civil clothing and are always in uniform. I played a major in the film, so I was always in the uniform. The logic was very simple: Unless you feel like a soldier, be with them, see how they walk and talk, you’ll never be authentic in your performance,”

Roy further said, “I’d not call Abhishek (Bachchan, co-star) by his name, I’d call him Captain. We’d cross real soldiers while going from one location to another, and salute them. Every actor wants to be part of a war story, it’s the closest you will get to playing a real-life soldier,”

Meanwhile, the actor said that he has realized real-life war didn’t have any retakes. The actor is in awe of these real-life heroes. He gushes and says he’d get goosebumps when he would hear stories about the war.

“For the TV show, we went to Arunachal Pradesh, close to where the firing was going on then. I have felt gratitude towards the Armed Forces from the beginning. As a child, obviously, we had the culture of Independence and Republic Day in school. Being in the midst of these people day in and day out, you wonder why civilians don’t follow even the simple rules given to us. When I’d sit and talk to the heroes of the Kargil war, there was no fear in them. They just said ‘it’s something we do’, saving the country.” Roy added.
