Remember when you used to have dinner depending on what time your favourite show aired on television? There are a few serials that take us down the nostalgia lane because they were so close to our hearts. Left Right Left was one such show that came as a breath of fresh air. The show began airing in 2006 and was a refreshing change from regular daily soaps. Left Right Left had an amazing star cast that inspired the youth to feel more connected to the armed forces. 13 years later, let’s take a look at where those young cadets are now.
