Captain Aadhya Rathore — "The Lioness in Olive Green"

Uske andar ek ajeeb si shanti bhi thi aur ek jungli sa junoon bhi—ek aisi mix jo sirf soldiers ke dil me hoti hai. Logo ne use samjhaya ki uniform ladkiyon ke liye nahi hoti... par Aadhya ne hamesha khud ko vardi me hi dekha tha. Determined, sensitive, emotional, aur phir bhi steel ki tarah sakht—Aadhya woh ladki thi jo tootne se pehle do baar khud ko khadi karti thi. Aur wahi banata hai usse... ek soldier ka perfect raw material.

A scared but determined girl and a fighter and a heartbroken soldier and a legendary officer and a woman who chooses love & peace after surviving war.

Major Virat Shekhawat

Ek aisa officer jisko dekhkar lagta hai ki uniform ne usse nahi, balki usne uniform ko izzat di hai. Kam bolne wala, par har lafz ek command jaisa teekha. Uski aankhon mein discipline ka dard bhi hai aur duty ka farz bhi. Battlefield ho ya zindagi, har jagah woh khud se zyada apne logon ko bachane ke liye tayyar rehta hai. Virat ki calm personality ke peeche ek gehri kahani chhupi hai—kisi ko paas aane se pehle hazaar baar sochne wala, par ek baar trust kar le toh duniya ke khilaaf khud khada ho jaane wala. Woh soldier bhi hai... aur ek adhoora insaan bhi, jo apni khamoshi ke parde ke peeche bahut kuch chhupa kar rakhta hai."

(INTRODUCTION)

Ae watan, watan mere, aabaad rahe tu;

Main jahan rahun, jahaan me yaad rahe tu...

"Log kehte hain fauj dil ko sakht bana deti hai... par mujhe lagta hai ki sachcha dil woh hai jo uniform pehenkar bhi dhadakta rahe. Mere liye desh hamesha pehla hai. Pyaar agar kabhi meri zindagi mein aayega, toh usse mere jazbe ki aag samajhni hogi—mujhe rokne ka nahi, mere saath khade rehne ka hausla chahiye hoga. Main kamzor nahi hoon, bas meri ragon mein discipline behata hai aur dil mein ek khamoshi se chalne wala jung. Mujhe pyaar toh chahiye... par aisa jo mere kandhon par lage stars ka bojh samajh sake, aur meri kadam-tal mein bhi desh ki dhadkan mehsoos kar sake."

~ Adhya Rathore🎇

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Army ne mujhe ek cheez sikhayi hai—jazbaat baad mein, duty pehle. Log kehte hain main ziddi hoon, par sach yeh hai ki battlefield ne mujhe sikhaya hai ki emotions weakness ban sakte hain. Isiliye main apne aas-paas deewaaren rakhta hoon... taaki koi phir se toot kar na chale jaaye. Lekin phir Aadhya mili—ek aisi officer jiske andar woh aag hai jo maine sirf legends mein dekhi thi. Usse dekhkar pehli baar laga... shayad uniform ke peeche bhi ek dil dhadak sakta hai, par us dhadkan ko protect karna bhi meri duty jaisa hi sacred hai."

~ Major Virat Shekhawat✨
