Who Is Kargil Girl Gunjan Saxena On Whom The Film Is Being Made
Karan Johar’s production ‘Dharma Production’ has released the poster of their new film ‘Gunjan Saxena – The Kargil Girl’. The film is based on the IAF’s female pilot Gunjan Saxena. The film stars Janhvi Kapoor as Gunjan, while Pankaj Tripathi plays his father.
Now the question arises who is Gunjan Saxena and what is the reason for making a film on Her?
Gunjan Saxena has been a flight lieutenant in the Indian Air Force. 44-year-old Gunjan is now retired. She is known as Kargil Girl. Gunjan has been awarded the Shaurya Award for his valor, courage, and patriotism. Gunjan is the woman who proved that women can not only become pilots but also fight for the nation.
During the Kargil War Gunjan Saxena fearlessly flew a cheetah helicopter into the war zone. During this time, she lifted from the high hills of Dras and Batalik and then back to a safe place. Pakistani soldiers were constantly attacking with rocket launchers and bullets. The missile was also fired on Gunjan’s aircraft but the target missed and Gunjan narrowly survived.
With no weapons, Gunjan confronted the Pakistani soldiers and rescued many soldiers from there. When Gunjan was graduating from Hansraj College, she joined the Safdarganj Flying Club of Delhi. At that time both his father and brother were employed in the Indian Army.
During this time they came to know that for the first time women pilots are being recruited in the IAF. She then passed the SSB exam and joined the Indian Air Force as a pilot. At that time the security forces were dominated by male officers and women officers in the Indian Air Force were not given the opportunity to fly with men pilot. Of course, women officers were not allowed to fly fighter jets at that time, but the women of her batch had made history by flying the aircraft for the first time in the Indian Air Force. However, at that time there was a reservation for women pilots in the Indian Air Force.
But then it was not clear how they would face mental and physical stress and wars to fly? These women wanted a chance to prove their ability which they got during the Kargil war in 1999. During the war, when the Indian Army needed a pilot, Gunjan and Sri Vidya were sent to the war zone. She also flew several times very close to the Line of Control to complete her mission so that the position of Pakistani soldiers could be ascertained.
Indeed, Gunjan not only proved that she is the true soldier of the country, but she also showed the world what women can do. Now women pilots can also fly fighter planes in the Indian Air Force and the credit goes to the courageous IAF pilots like Gunjan Saxena.

Startups that use excerpts from their own pitch are sent legal notifications by Shark Tank India; the creator responds, “Kaise banega naya India?”
After getting a legal letter from Sony Pictures for copyright infringement, the subscription-based tea business Dorje Teas found itself in deep water for utilising footage from their own pitch on YouTube and Meta advertisements.
The founders of the subscription-based tea company Dorje Teas, Ishaan Kanoria and Sparsh Agarwal.
While many entrepreneurs, especially those with startups, have found transformation through the business reality TV series Shark Tank India, the narrative is slightly different for Dorje Teas, a subscription-based tea firm that ships organic and fresh-from-the-farm Darjeeling Tea to consumers throughout India. Sony Pictures Networks India slapped the firm with a legal notice, which has placed it in hot water.
Co-founder Sparsh Agarwal of the company, who brought Dorje Teas to Shark Tank India last year and raised funds of Rs 30 lakh for 15% equity from Anupam Mittal, Peyush Bansal, and Vineeta Singh, valued the business at Rs 2 crore, recently revealed on LinkedIn that they received a legal notice from Shark Tank India for utilising snippets of their own pitch.
Agarwal claims that they received a notification about copyright infringement for utilising these clips in YouTube and Meta advertisements. It appears that Sony Pictures has sent notice to other companies besides Dorje Teas. He said, “They’ve clamped down on every single startup that showed up on Shark Tank, so we’re not the only ones.”
“I don’t understand why they would do this, even though I am aware of the copyright rules that justify it. After all, Dorje Teas and several other businesses, like Skippi, Assembly, Perfora, Hoovu Fresh, Beyond Snack, Wakao Foods, Nasher Miles, and many more, invest thousands of dollars each month to enhance Shark Tank content, which helps the Shark Tank India brand get free exposure and increase brand memory,” he continued.
Agarwal went on to call it a poor business choice that some executive or lawyer at Sony had made, adding that it “goes against the entire ethos of promoting small startups.”
Additionally, the focus of Shark Tank Season 3 has been on creating a new India and assisting the startup environment in India. “How will we construct a ‘new India’ in this manner?’” he questioned in a self-recorded video.
On social media, Agarwal was met with praise, while some contended that Sony’s actions were legitimate in theory. “Dear Sparsh, you must realise that ‘You are the content’ in this situation. You play a big part in content production. You posted the material that features you on your social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and so on), but not on Sony’s. You might say that the traffic they were supposed to get was somehow redirected to them. A content strategist made the observation, “You are monetizing your social channels with the content they produce.”
“The first person to provide a sneak peek in the content industry attracts greater attention. Furthermore, it’s possible that you agreed to sign a waiver giving them perpetual rights to the footage they shot. They said, “Verify your contract or try to recall signing any electronic documents on the filming locations that make this clear.
“You are investing lakhs of dollars to promote Shark Tank, while Shark Tank is investing billions of dollars to plan and publicise the programme that features your brand.” Simply alter your viewpoint, as another poster pointed out.
