Few officers of the IAF have said that it differently shows the air force, and one of Gunjan’s fellow officers, Sreevidya Rajan, has said that she was the first female pilot in a combat zone, and not Gunjan, as the film claims. “In the movie, Gunjan Saxena was shown as the only lady pilot to fly in Kargil operations. This is factually incorrect. We were posted together to Udhampur and when the Kargil conflict started, I was the first woman pilot to be sent along with the male counterparts in the first detachment of our unit which deployed at Srinagar,” Sreevidya had written in a Facebook post.
