liked
for

down-to-earth
and
humble
nature.

revealed
a
lesser-known
aspect
of
himself.
Despite
gaining
fame
for
his
acting
prowess,
Raina
disclosed
that
he
had
always
aspired
to
join
the
Indian
Army
due
to
his
admiration
for
the
uniform.
Mohit
Raina's
Tryst
with
Joining
the
Army
In
pursuit
of
this
dream,
he
even
appeared
for
the
National
Defence
Academy
exam,
which
is
conducted
by
UPSC
for
admission
to
the
Army,
Navy,
and
Air
Force
wings
of
the
NDA.
Reflecting
on
this,
Raina
shared,
"In
my
early
years,
I
harbored
a
strong
desire
to
be
a
part
of
the
Indian
Army.
The
values
of
discipline,
sacrifice,
and
honor
that
the
armed
forces
embody
greatly
inspired
me."
He
added,
"Yet
destiny
had
other
plans
for
me.
Although
I
managed
to
pass
the
written
exam,
my
vision
issue
hindered
my
success
in
the
medical
examination.
However,
fate
led
me
into
the
entertainment
industry,
where
I
had
the
privilege
of
portraying
army
and
defense
officer
roles."
"This
is
something
I
consider
a
blessing.
Life
often
unfolds
unexpectedly,
and
while
my
childhood
dream
took
a
different
path,
I
am
grateful
for
the
opportunities
that
acting
has
brought
my
way," he
shared.
