From dancing at army camps to engaging in long conversations with military officers, of late, many Bollywood stars have taken time out to interact with the Indian soldiers. The latest one to do so is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is currently shooting for her next in Punjab.

We have been told that the actor met the Border Security Force (BSF) soldiers in Amritsar earlier this week. A source close to Aishwarya says, "When the BSF jawans realised that she was shooting in a village, which is very close to the border, they expressed their desire to meet her. When Aishwarya finished her schedule for the day, she interacted with them."

The actor also clicked pictures with them. And apparently, the soldiers presented a gift to the Bollywood star. "They were so overwhelmed that they gifted a military cap to Aishwarya," adds the source.
