"The feel of patriotism might be the common factor in my onscreen avatars, yet they were all very dif..." — Manoj Kumar

I have inherited the spirit of patriotism and love for literature from my father and the right religious and moral values from my mother Krishna Kumari Goswami.

Abbottabad was founded by Major James Abbott and was a beautiful hill station for the British Army. Rather like Shimla on our side of the border. Later, it acquired status as a centre for higher education as well as army training. It is also famous for its mouthwatering confectionery.
