Gunjan Saxena is best-known as one of the first women combat aviators who entered the war zone of Kargil in 1999 along with her fellow lieutenant Srividya Rajan.

Aug 11, 2020 · Debutant director Sharan Sharma’s Gunjan Saxena is the polar opposite of such triteness: it is low key and gentle of voice.. The crowning glory of the real-life Flight Lieutenant Saxena’s achievements came during a war against Pakistan, yet the film avoids loud chest-beating paeans to Mother India, the caricaturing of Pakistanis or dramatic dialogues about the “dushman desh” (enemy country).
Due to this discrimination, Gunjan Saxena’s tenure as a chopper pilot ended in July 2004; after seven years of her service. For her outstanding service in the war zone, she was honoured with the Shaurya Chakra Award (a gallantry award presented for valour, courageous action or self-sacrifice while not engaged in direct action with the enemy) by the army and became the first woman to receive this honour.
Gunjan Saxena was born into an Army family in 1975. Her father and brother both served in the Indian Army. After completing her schooling, Gunjan graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Hansraj College in Delhi. In 1996, she joined the Indian Air Force as one of the six women as a pilot.
