Mumbai: On India’s 76 Independence Day, actor Kiara Advani joins NDTV in honouring the BSF soldiers at the Wagah border on the flagship show Jai Jawan on 15 August at 9:30 PM

Jai Jawan encapsulates our gratitude to the forces and the extreme conditions in which they work, bringing on camera, their daily trials, and triumphs where a big celebrity spends time engaging with the men and women of the forces. The show has won much appreciation and awards owing to sensitive handling and the great spirit of our country that is showcased with each show, a combination of courage, grit and the gruelling discipline followed by the jawans at the border.
