Deepika Padukone in Besharam, OH MAH..! I haven't watched it yet. But I watched Second Lt. Arun Khetarpal in Paramvir Chakra recently.
Late Second Lt. Arun Khetarpal (PVC) was 21 years old when he passed out from IMA & was commissioned into 17 Poona Horse of the Indian Army.

Just 6 months after his joining 1971 war broke out with Pakistan. He was undergoing the Young Officers’ Course at Ahmednagar at that time. He was recalled from the course and soon joined his unit to take part in the famous “Battle of Basantar” in the Shakargarh sector.
On 16 Dec that year, he had rushed to aid of his fellow soldiers, decimating several Patton tanks of Pakistan Army in his lone Centurion Mk 7 tank before he was grievously wounded. He was ordered to abandon his tank, but, realising that the enemy was still pressing forward,
he stuck to his position firing till very end. He single handedly destroyed 7 Paki tanks before attaining VEERGATI. For his valor he was awarded Paramvir Chakra. When 2nd Lt. Arun Khetarpal attained Veergati on battlefield of Basantar in 1971 Indo-Pak war, he became a legend.
Remembering Second Lt. Arun Khetarpal on his VEERGATI diwas. You should tell these stories to the next generation.
Younger generation should know what a 21 year old boy can do if he has the willingness. He lives forever.
