The release of the film Gunjan Saxena - The Kargil Girl has sparked a controversy. While Gunjan Saxena is credited as the first woman aviator in a combat zone in a film, Sreevidya Rajan has now said that she was the first. Vishnu Som speaks to Sreevidya Rajan about this controversy, who says that the misunderstanding was brought about by an Air Force media event back in 1999. While she bears no ill-will towards Gunjan Saxena, she says she had to set the record straight, and wants to inspire young women to look at the Air Force as a career option.
