Her bravery and valor are given tribute to in this film, released on August 12, 2020, in which the actress, Janhvi Kapoor plays the role of the air veteran. The movie revolves around her struggles of being a woman in the workforce, but also the undying effort and bravery she showed for the Indian soldiers when they were wounded. This film is an enigma of the strength and power of women, and their untested dedication and loyalty to their nation.
