Earning Best Actor (Film) nomination at mid-day and Radio City Hitlist OTT Awards for Gunjan Saxena, Janhvi on bringing IAF pilot's journey to screen
Janhvi Kapoor in Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl
The movie invited the wrath of the Indian Air Force (IAF), which claimed that it showed them in poor light. Kapoor acknowledges that the backlash affected her “deeply”. “Throughout the promotions, we acknowledged that Gunjan ma’am got the opportunity to serve in the IAF because of their [willingness]. They took a progressive step by recruiting women. We never wished to offend anyone. Some people didn’t get Gunjan or her spirit because they are victims of their conditioning. I am glad the film sparked a conversation [about women joining the IAF].”
