In Gunjan Saxena’s biopic, Janhvi is playing the title role. For the uninitiated, Gunjan is India’s first female combat aviator who showed her valour during the Kargil war in 1999. She had evacuated injured soldiers along with her colleague Srividya Rajan and is the first woman to have received the Shaurya Vir award.

Reportedly, Angad Bedi is playing an army officer, Anshuman who is also Gunjan’s brother. Pankaj Tripathi will be seen as Janhvi’s on-screen father. The first schedule of ‘Kargil Girl’ will wrap up on March 2 and the second schedule will start in April apparently in Lucknow.

A few days back, we got a glimpse of Janhvi in the get up of a flight lieutenant as she was dressed in a combat aviator’s uniform. The ‘Dhadak’ actor is leaving no stone unturned to get into the skin of the character. As per reports, she is trying hard to put on weight for the character.

Talking about Riva, she had played Sridevi’s younger daughter in ‘Mom’ and did a phenomenal job in ‘Uri’ and even director Aditya Dhar was all praise for her. We are looking forward to the ‘Kargil War’ to see yet another stunning performance by the little girl.
