Aishwarya Sakhuja is another actress with a military background. Her father served in the Indian Army

Aishwarya, known for her role in Saas Bina Sasural opposite Ravi Dubey, frequently shares pictures with her dad

Aman Verma also has military ties. His father, Yatan Kumar Verma, was part of the Indian Army

Dipika Kakar is the daughter of an Army officer, a fact she has mentioned multiple times

She shares a very close bond with her father, which is evident in her vlogs

The dashing Rajeev got his solid physique from his father, who served the nation. Rajeev's father, Col. C.L. Khandelwal, is a retired Army officer

Rannvijay is the only member of the Singha family who hasn't served in the military. His family has been serving the nation for the last six generations

While Rannvijay's father was in the Indian Army, his brother Harmanjeet Singh Singha serves in the Indian Navy

While many know him for his exceptional acting skills, few are aware that he served in the Indian Army and retired as a Major in 1989

While several actors have a military background, Bikramjeet Kanwarpal was different. The late actor himself served in the Indian Army

While it's a well-known fact that Nakul is a descendant of the Rajput Chauhan Dynasty's king, Prithviraj Chauhan, few know that his father is a veteran of the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971

Mehta's ties to the military go back even further to his great-great-grandfather, Laxmilal Mehta, who was the military-in-chief of the Mewar region.
