More on Gunjan Saxena, now retired Wing Commander slams the film

Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl has raised many questions. Wing Commander IK Khanna (retd) says that much of what is shown in the film is inaccurate. “I was one of the instructors back in July 1994 when the first batch of seven women pilots arrived at the Air Force Station at Yelahanka, Bengaluru, to commence training on IAF transport aircraft,” Khanna wrote. Wondering if the film’s screenplay was shared with the IAF, Khanna wrote that under his watch, all women pilots were treated as equals, and “No one had to run to their room to change as shown in Gunjan Saxena.”
