Bollywood’s Chitrangada Singh turned method actor for ‘The Battle of Galwan’, claiming full grasp of military life after exhaustive preparations. Her bold statement, ‘I understand the army’s world thoroughly,’ stems from hands-on immersion in the film’s recreation of the deadly 2020 India-China border clash.
Preparation was no cakewalk. Chitrangada mastered rifle drills, rope crossings over icy rivers, and the art of stealth in Ladakh’s unforgiving landscape. ‘Talking to jawans who survived Galwan opened my eyes to their silent heroism,’ she revealed.
The movie captures the raw intensity of that fateful night, where Indian troops repelled intruders without firing a shot, upholding rules of engagement. Chitrangada’s character navigates betrayal, loss, and triumph, drawing from real events that claimed 20 lives.
As post-production wraps, anticipation builds. Chitrangada hopes the film ignites national pride and support for troops. ‘It’s more than entertainment—it’s a debt of gratitude,’ she concluded, urging viewers to honor the Galwan guardians through this powerful narrative.
