Armed Forces Connection

Let's increase activity since our ranking went down again. So, obviously this show is about the army.

Do you have any personal connection (self, family, friend, etc.) to any armed forces (army, navy, air force, etc.)?

What is something you hope that EKDV2 will show about the army? What are you expecting to see?

My grandpa was in the Indian Army. From the stories I've heard, he was very mischievous and care-free as a teenager but was deeply affected after India lost the Indo-China war. Despite his family's wishes, he decided to join the army. Although he could've had a secured government job as his father and uncles did, he wanted to do more for the county. Later on, he fought in the India-Pakistan war. He doesn't like to talk about his army career much because there were a lot of painful memories, although he has no regrets, but he didn't want my father or uncles joining the army. My dad and uncles didn't go to an army school but grew up in an army colony and moved around a lot to wherever my grandpa was posted. Sometimes he would be away from family for a long time too. It's really interesting to hear about the difference in family culture between my dad and my mom, who grew up in a civilian family and never moved around.

Another connection: My childhood best friend who was very shy and timid grew up to become a US Army Nurse and it's hard to believe that she's the same girl! I always feel really proud of her when I see her Army posts. We lost touch afterwards so I'm not sure what made her join. I knew that she wanted to be a nurse but had some financial hardships. The US army pays for education as long as you serve also so maybe that was it but I'm sure there must be more because joining the army is a big decision.

One of the things I want to them to show about the army is the hardship soldiers go through not being limited to being away from family. My grandpa told me that we are only shown the glitz and glamor of the army and not the internal politics and discrimination. So, I would like to see this also. I don't think showing the negative side along with the positive is disrespectful but it is more realistic.

No military connections in the family. One of my friends' husband served in the army as a pilot before returning to Uni to complete his MS studies.

Probably different branches of the army like the medical, marine force, etc

Families play a big role too in a soldier's life. My grandpa always credits my grandma for taking good care of the whole family and finances so he could go off to war without any worries. I can't even imagine what families go through when their loved one is at war or far-away in a place that could be dangerous.

Thanks Alina for increasing the forum activity.😊

I do have a couple of people on my mother's side in the army. I remember someone asking them if they have to go the border and they answered that it is necessary. Also, he just has one sister and due to responsibilities on the border, he couldn't attend his sister's marriage. He was very sad about it and that day I realized that this job does require a lot of sacrifices.

I just hope that Shravan and Suman have a good relationship no matter how many challenges they have to go through later on😊And I also hope the show doesn't turn out to be too serious. We need the comedy here and there which will lighten up the audience.😊

Aww that is really sad. But it just shows how dedicated he is that he chose his duty over one of the most important events of his life.

I feel like the show will be somewhat serious after the leap but I'm sure they will introduce side-characters to do comedy which makes me sad because I love Bunty, Devraj, Kancha and want to see them post-leap

Nice topic Alina👍🏼

A friend of mine is currently undergoing airforce training.😊

I’m sure you must be really proud of your friend! Do you know what inspired your friend to join the Air Force?

Oh no our forum ranking went down again😒 Nice initiative Alina!👍🏼

I don't have anyone from my immediate family in the armed forces but initially I wanted to join the Armed Forces Medical College based in Pune. Unfortunately things didn't work out😭

I'm still in awe of that institute. It's my dream to be associated with the army in any way😊
