Hello Nirupa ji, I think your plant is Silene setisperma only. Recently I've also photographed this from Himachal Pradesh. Because of the drooping nature of the flower, fringed petals are not visible in your photo. I posted my photographs on eFlora today with the same subject line but it is not merged with your thread. Pl check the fotos in today's post with the same subject line of yours.
