“I feel guilty of my privilege” : Jhanvi Kapoor
Bollywood actress and daughter of Sreedevi Janhvi Kapoor has opened up on the biggest lesson she learnt while portraying Gunjan Saxena, the first female Indian Air Force pilot in warzone, in an upcoming biopic.
“It all comes down to the effort and the hard work you put into your work. Her (Gunjan Saxena’s) outlook is very simple. If one keeps working hard, then one will get where one has to get. I am aware of my privilege. I often felt guilty about it. But the best I can do is to earn my place by working even harder” said Jhanvi.

She noted how Saxena didn’t let society’s gender bias act as an obstacle, and never victimised herself. Instead just worked hard, which is something that inspires the most.
Directorial venture by Sharan Sharma also features Pankaj Tripathi and Angad Bedi, and is set for a Netflix release on August 12.
