Talking about it, Mahie says, “1962: The War In The Hills is a rather special show for me. There was once a time when I applied to and was selected to be a part of our armed forces. And  today, I get to play a pivotal role in a war series, not as a soldier but as a proud army wife. I believe that families who support our jawaans through everything are also heroes. My character Shagun is not the typical army-wife that’s showcased in movies or shows; she is strong and resilient and is fighting her own personal battles.”

Hotstar Specials presents 1962: The War in The Hills is slated for release on 26th February 2021 only on Disney+ Hotstar VIP and Disney+ Hotstar Premium.
