Gurmeet Choudhary, soon to portray Maharana Pratap in the upcoming show `Maharana,` fondly recalls his childhood memories during the Kargil War, a significant victory in Indian Army history. As the son of Subedar Major Sita Ram Choudhary, who served in the Indian Army, Gurmeet`s upbringing in an Army hospital instilled a sense of pride and discipline. He jokingly claims to be more of a "Fauji" than his father.

Gurmeet shares, "Since I was a child, I have embedded the qualities of the Army in me, and it`s a feeling of pride to tell everyone that my dad is in the army, protecting the nation. They are relentless warriors, a great source of inspiration."
