Kirti Kulhari: 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' was very personal for me

Kirti Kulhari has recalled working on Uri: The Surgical Strike, which released two years ago on this day.

The military action film is based on the 2016 Indian Army's surgical strike on terrorist camps in Pakistan in retaliation for the terror attack on an Army camp in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir.

Kirti was seen as Flight Lieutenant Seerat Kaur in the film, which stars Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam and Mohit Raina.

"Flight lieutenant Seerat Kaur is a very memorable character, not only for the audience but for me as well. My family is serving in the defence. My father is a retired naval officer and my sister and brother-in-law are serving lieutenant colonels in the army, so the film was very personal for me," said Kirti.
