Jahnvi Kapoor - Female Star of Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl | Photos | Video

The internet is buzzing over the female lead of the Hindi-language biographical drama "Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl" (see movie poster below from Wikipedia). We are, of course, talking about Jahnvi Kapoor.

The movie, which was released globally thru Netflix, tells the story of a female flight lieutenant and Indian Air Force (IAF) officer and former helicopter pilot. She is the first woman IAF officer to go to war as part of the Kargil War, where she was also the "first woman to fly in a combat zone".

Quite a big role for young actress Jahnvi who was born to actress Sridevi and film producer Boney Kapoor (seems acting and the movie industry is in her genes). She was born on March 6, 1997 in Mumbai, Maharashtra. She is really quite pretty, just like her mom (see photo below).  

Her first major role was to play Parthavi Singh Rathore in the romance film Dhadak, where she was nominated for Best Female Debut at the Filmfare Award and Zee Cine Award. Her acting course from Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institude in California, USA, paid off.

We eagerly await her coming films (to be released in 2021): Roohi, Dostana 2, and Good Luck Jerry.
