Janhvi penned a heartfelt note on Instagram expressing her gratitude to director Sharan Sharma and former Indian Air Force combat pilot Gunjan Saxena, who entered the war zone during the 1999 Kargil War. The film is inspired by the life of the pilot. "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. 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 out- look in everything I try to do," she wrote. "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," Janhvi added. Alongside the post, Janhvi posted a string of BTS images from the sets of the film, which also featured actors Pankaj Tripathi, Angad Bedi, Viineet Kumar, Manav Vij, and NEW DELHI ties are ruling the small member Ayesha Raza.
