The real story of Jeet Ki Zid on Zee5 —
Jeet Ki Zid is the story of Major Deependra Singh Sengar, a highly decorated war hero of the Special Forces, who was commissioned as an officer in 1991. National Defence Academy alumni Senger was the recipient of the prestigious ‘Commando Dagger’ in his eighth year of service. His phenomenal fitness earned him the sobriquet ‘Rocket’ by his juniors. His gallantry was much-talked-about and still is in the Paltan.
In the Indian Army, there is seldom any offer in the infantry that doesn’t rub shoulders with death. Senger too had experienced his share of morbid clashes. And it was during one of these incidents an AK-47 round shattered his hip bone, crushing his dreams of leading the unit to wars again. But Senger didn’t give up. During his convalescence in the hospital, he boasted himself mentally, read books, prepared for CAT, and earned an MBA degree from IIM-Ahmedabad. Today, Sengar is a top management professional with Microsoft. Senger’s is a story of resilience and disciple that comes with strenuous mental and emotional preparedness.
