In the video, Janhvi Kapoor praised Gunjan Saxena and said, “the thing that I love most about Gunjan ma’am and this character is that she has done so much for the country and for the women of this country and also even for all of us through the making of the movie. But in her head, she doesn’t think she has done anything at all”.
