Mumbai, Jul 23 (IANS): Actress Neha Dhupia is in Kargil, and she will spend 10 days in the company of army jawans there.

Independence is very important to me. I'll be going to Kargil, the Line of Control and believe it or not, I am going to spend the next 10 days with our army soldiers," Neha said here Sunday.

The 31-year-old, who has an army background, said "it's going to be very exciting to spend 10 days there."

She spoke on the sidelines of an event for the launch of the latest edition of the magazine Maxim. She features on the magazine's cover, and this is her third stint with it.

Neha says featuring on a cover page is still an important part of an actor's life.

"I think it is a big thing to feature on the cover of a magazine. It just means that you are effective enough, not only for that month, but because you have made a mark for yourself in some way to be able to sell an entire magazine, to be able to convince the reader to browse through the rest of the pages only looking at your face," she said.

Neha was last seen in "Maximum", and is now working in another action film "Rush".
