My dad served in the Indian Airforce and I am married to an army officer. This movie shows the proud blue uniform in very poor light. Firstly, Srividya Rajan was the first lady pilot who flew to Kargil. Secondly, In a scathing open letter, the former Wing Commander has accused the makers of Gunjan Saxena: the Kargil Girl of peddling lies and deliberately showing the Air Force in poor light. An ex-colleague of Gunjan Saxena, Namrata Chandni Said “I have never faced the kind of abuse and maltreatment as was portrayed in the movie. In fact, men in uniform are true gentlemen and professionals. They go out of their way to make lady officers comfortable and adjust”. Though she agreed, “there were teething troubles like no changing rooms or exclusive ladies toilets in the beginning” but at no point was she made to feel uncomfortable.
