Janhvi
Kapoor
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Gunjan
Saxena:
The
Kargil
Girl.
Earlier
this
week,
the
makers
released
a
teaser
of
the
film
based
on
the
first
female
Indian
Air
Force
Pilot
in
a
combat
zone.
While
fans
are
really
excited
to
see
the
film,
real
Gunjan
Saxena
also
shared
her
thoughts
on
the
first
teaser
of
the
film.
Gunjan
Saxena:
The
Kargil
Girl,
which
was
set
to
see
a
theatrical
release
on
April
24,
2020,
will
now
premiere
on
Netflix
instead,
due
to
the
ongoing
pandemic.
The
teaser
shared
by
the
makers
is
a
montage
of
pictures
featuring
the
real
Gunjan
Saxena
with
Janhvi
Kapoor's
voiceover.
On
Wednesday,
after
watching
the
teaser,
the
former
IAF
pilot
Gunjan
Saxena
shared
her
thoughts
with
an
elaborate
post.
She
went
on
to
reveal
that
the
experience
was
sweet
and
unforgettable.
The
post
read,
"Very
rarely
have
old
memories
flashed
in
front
of
me
in
such
a
sweet
manner
as
was
experienced
after
watching
my
montage
with
voice
over
of
Janhvi
Kapoor.
I
guess
it
is
the
time
for
the
culmination
of
an
enriching
journey
which
started
with
Sharan
Sharma
three
years
back.
And
what
a
journey
it
has
been
with
Sharan."
Gunjan
Saxena
Was
Set
To
Release
On
April
24,
2020
Gunjan
also
added
that
it
was
her
one-track
mind,
that
helped
her
reach
the
formidable
goal.
"None
of
the
life
journeys
is
a
walk
in
park
and
mine
was
no
different.
But
at
times
a
one-track
mind
on
goal
does
help.
During
my
tenure
in
IAF,
whatever
little
I
could
achieve
was
with
the
help
of
men
and
women
in
blue
uniforms," she
said.
Janhvi
Kapoor
Hopes
To
Make
Real
Gunjan
Saxena
Proud
Talking
about
working
with
director
Sharan
Sharma,
she
added,
"I
have
always
admired
his
honesty,
sincerity
and
a
sensitive
compassion
while
portraying
my
life
on
big
screen.
Everybody
at
my
age
has
a
story
to
tell.
Lucky
few
like
me
have
Sharan
and
Janhvi
to
narrate
my
story....
I
sincerely
hope
everyone
will
enjoy
the
movie
not
because
it
is
my
story
but
more
so
because
of
the
honest
work
of
Sharan
and
his
team."
Actress
Janhvi
also
shared
Gunjan
Saxena's
post
on
her
Instagram
profile
and
wrote
in
the
caption,
"It's
an
honour
to
know
you
let
alone
have
the
privilege
to
be
able
to
understand
your
journey
and
share
it
with
the
world.
Hope
we
make
you
proud,
Gunjan
Mam."
