In the caption of her post, the actor revealed that she likes to flaunt her uneven suntans, and her love for showing off her muscles, as these were the norms of beauty and achievement for NCC cadets. She talked about how all of the cadets have to wax their drill marching shoes until one can see their own reflection in the shoes. She wrote, “Flaunting uneven suntan and showing off muscles...those were the norms of beauty and achievements for us #NCCcadets then! Waxing and shining shoes till your face reflected in them, earning and adorning medals, crisp marchpast, and cautions (#WordsOfCommand) so loud that the entire colony could hear you, such were the activities I took pride in."

She then further talked about how they used to sleep on thin mats and perform their morning ritualistic physical training drills. She also talked about her Marching Drill training, which often took place under the scorching sun. During the camps, which were the most thrilling and hardest part of NCC, they would often have to hold their tents together during heavy winds and rain. She also talked about having “like watery sabzis” and “map-like rotis”. She talked about how these conditions were extremely uncomfortable for a few, and some parents would not even let their children go through all this, but going through these camp training would only make one physically and mentally strong.

In her caption she wrote, “Sleeping on thin mats, morning PT and #DrillPractice in the scorching sun, holding together our tents in winds & rains, digging snake trenches around them, lining up to have basic food like watery sabzis, map-like Rotis and weak evening teas and still relishing it all because we knew that survival was more important. Few would call them extremely uncomfortable conditions, few parents might not even let their children experience such adversities but I feel these conditions make one a stronger person mentally and physically. Once gone through all this- you are ready to face the world head-on."
