Actress Rakul Preet who is set to make her foray into Bollywood with Yaariyaan; the directorial debut of T-Series' head honcho Bhushan Kumar's wife Divya Kumar, has a habit of reaching her sets half an hour before time!

When asked about it, she credits her tendency to her army connection. Rakul's dad is a colonel in the army and she has done her final years of schooling from Army Public School in Delhi. A mathematics graduate, she has studied financial management.


`They say discipline is the soul of an army. I have grown up inculcating the values of timeliness, obedience, restraint and commitment. I'm realizing that qualities like these go a long way in shaping life,` she says with dreams in her eyes.


Rakul's family background puts the gal in a unique league of Bollywood beauties like Preity Zinta, Priyanka Chopra, Sushmita Sen, Anushka Sharma, Chitrangada Singh and Lara Dutta; all of whom hail from military backgrounds; with parents posted in various rungs of the military hierarchy.
