 The actress was quoted saying, “The sentiment has been fuelled and amplified in the last month. I hope it’s not something that I have to deal with every release.” She further said that it's time to exercise 'a little bit of sensitivity' “I know I’m confident of what I’ve done, and I’m confident of the film and the story… I don’t think there’s any reason for us to be apologetic for what we’ve done,” she said to the portal.

 She also admitted by saying, “I’ve kind of fast-tracked into this system already. I’ve skipped many steps that many people have had to fight for. I’ve gotten chances that many people wouldn’t have gotten easily. I’m here already through a much easier route than most people have had. So from now if the journey is a little bit of an uphill climb and it’s a little bit harder for people to accept me then I’ll accept it. If I’ve skipped a certain portion of the journey that people are subjected to then this is my journey from here on, and I’ll embrace it.”

Pankaj Tripathi who is also a part of the film said, "Right now, it is as if the book is being judged by its cover." Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl starring Janhvi Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi and Angad Bedi will be releasing on August 12 on Netflix.
