Gunjan Saxena The Kargil Girl Turns 1: Janhvi Kapoor Calls The Experience 'Pure And Enriching', Pens A Heartfelt Note
Janhvi Kapoor’s 2020 movie Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl has clocked one year of its release today. Helmed by Sharan Sharma, the movie narrated the story of India’s first female Air Force officer to enter into a warzone, Gunjan Saxena. She had also played a pivotal role during the 1999 Kargil War. Janhvi, who played the titular role, took to Instagram to celebrate its one year anniversary and shared a couple of BTS pictures from the set.

Sharing the clicks, Janhvi Kapoor penned a lengthy note, calling this journey a creative process that was pure and enriching for her. Janhvi wrote, “nothing I ever say will do enough justice to what this journey has meant to me. I could have never even dreamt of a creative process that felt so pure and enriching, in every way.”

Janhvi added, “And I’m so grateful for all the people that helped make it that way, and most of all to Gunjan Mam for letting us be privy to her spirit and her rare sincerity, something that continues to guide me and shape my outlook in everything I try to do. And Sharry, for recognising and making us all feel the importance of what this story stood for. You made trusting the process feel more fruitful than daunting, and that was more valuable than any reward we as a team could have asked for #GunjanSaxena.”

As soon as she shared the post, her cousin Shanaya Kapoor and fans showered love in the comment section.
