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.

A publicist for Justin Baldoni quits his PR agency over “bullying” in the wake of Blake Lively’s lawsuit.

A publicist for Justin Baldoni quits his PR agency over “bullying” in the wake of Blake Lively’s lawsuit.

Justin Baldoni’s publicist, Jennifer Abel, left her firm amid sexual harassment accusations from Blake Lively.
Justin Baldoni’s publicist, Jennifer Abel, reportedly left her previous employer amid allegations of “bullying”, coinciding with an alleged smear campaign against Blake Lively over the summer.

The controversy deepened when Baldoni’s former publicist filed a lawsuit against Abel and Baldoni’s crisis management team, including his production company Wayfarer Studios and crisis manager Melissa Nathan, for defamation and breach of contract.

This legal battle comes as Baldoni also faces a lawsuit from Lively, who has accused him of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign to tarnish her reputation after alleged misconduct on the set of It Ends With Us.

A source close to Abel told The Wrap that she left Jonesworks, the public relations firm where she was once a partner, due to a toxic work environment.

Baldoni’s publicist cited workplace ‘bullying’ led to resigning

Abel allegedly cited “bullying” as a reason for her departure, claiming it was directed at her colleague Matthew Mitchell. Abel eventually started her own firm, RWA Communications, after resigning on July 10, with her departure set for August 23. However, she was reportedly fired by Jonesworks on August 21 after accusations surfaced that she had stolen documents and client information.

Jonesworks, led by Stephanie Jones, has since filed a lawsuit against Abel, accusing her of breach of contract and defamation. Jones claims Abel secretly contacted clients to pave the way for her departure and took over 70 documents from the firm. “Jennifer tendered her resignation in July and had agreed to stay on until August 23. She was terminated early after Jonesworks discovered that she had stolen over 70 documents,” they said.

Abel’s insider, however, denied these claims, stating, “They were not ‘stolen,’ nor were any other clients.” Abel’s team asserts the lawsuit is retaliatory after Baldoni and other clients transitioned to her new firm.

In an email obtained by The Wrap, Abel’s resignation letter acknowledged, “I take full responsibility for my part in all of this. I’m not proud of how emotional I get in these situations.”

Earlier this year, speculation of a feud between Lively and Baldoni arose during promotions for It Ends With Us. Lively’s subsequent lawsuit accuses Baldoni of misconduct and retaliation. An exposé by The New York Times detailed allegations of Baldoni’s inappropriate behaviour and efforts to discredit Lively. Baldoni has denied all allegations.
