Several actresses in the Indian film industry have portrayed roles of brave women associated with the armed forces, either in movies or through real-life experiences. Here are a few actresses who have been associated with such roles and have shared stories of bravery:

  1. Priyanka Chopra: Priyanka Chopra is an Indian actress who has played the role of an Indian Air Force pilot in the Bollywood movie "Maa Tujhhe Salaam." She portrayed a character that exhibited courage and dedication to the nation.

  2. Kangana Ranaut: Kangana Ranaut, another Indian actress, played the role of a brave Indian warrior, Rani Lakshmibai, in the film "Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi." Rani Lakshmibai was a historic figure who fought fearlessly against the British East India Company during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

  3. Tapsee Pannu: Tapsee Pannu, an Indian actress known for her versatile roles, played the character of an Indian undercover agent in the movie "Baby." The film showcased her bravery and dedication to protecting the nation from terrorism.

  4. Shabana Azmi: Shabana Azmi, a veteran Indian actress, portrayed the role of a strong and fearless village woman who takes up arms to protect her family and home in the movie "Mandi."

It's important to note that while these actresses have portrayed brave characters on-screen, they themselves may not have served in the armed forces. However, through their roles and performances, they have highlighted the courage and sacrifices of women in various roles within society, including those associated with the armed forces.

Additionally, there are real-life stories of brave women who have served in the armed forces and have been recognized for their courage and contributions. These stories often inspire filmmakers to create movies that showcase the strength and bravery of women in challenging circumstances.
