Major Sambyal Discusses Personal Sacrifices Serving as President Murmu's ADC
Major Rishabh Singh Sambyal, who served as aide-de-camp (ADC) to President Droupadi Murmu for nearly three years, retired from the Indian Army after 12 years. He revealed on a podcast that ADCs face strict personal restrictions, including a clause prohibiting marriage during their tenure, which he described as his biggest sacrifice. Sambyal also spoke about the loneliness of the role but said he turned it into a positive experience. The position demands constant availability and limits normal social life to ensure focus on presidential duties.
