The
much-awaited
trailer
of
Janhvi
Kapoor's
Gunjan
Saxena:
The
Kargil
Girl
has
been
dropped
online
and
as
expected,
it
looks
every
bit
promising.
After
making
her
debut
in
Bollywood
with
Dhadak,
Janhvi
has
stepped
into
the
shoes
of
India's
first
female
pilot
in
combat,
Gunjan
Saxena.
The
trailer
gives
us
a
sneak-peek
into
Gunjan's
childhood
and
how
she
sets
out
on
a
mission
to
make
her
father
proud.
It
shows
how
Janhvi
as
Gunjan
Saxena
works
hard
to
carve
a
niche
for
herself
in
the
highly
male-dominated
defence
forces
and
eventually,
becomes
the
first
Indian
female
pilot
in
combat.
For
the
uninitiated,
Gunjan
Saxena
rescued
soldiers
during
the
Kargil
War
in
1999,
and
was
honoured
with
the
Shaurya
Vir
award
for
her
courage
and
grit.
Janhvi
took
to
her
Instagram
page
to
share
the
trailer
and
wrote,
"Finally
the
part
of
the
journey
we're
we
can
start
sharing
this
story
that
we've
all
been
so
honoured
to
be
able
to
tell.
Here's
the
look
into
the
world
of

-
The
Kargil
Girl..
