Janhvi Kapoor made her impressive debut in Shashank Khaitan’s Dhadak opposite Ishaan Khatter. She came across as extremely hardworking, earnest and sincere towards her craft and managed to win hearts with her acting in the film. She already has a lot to live up to being the daughter of legendary actress Sridevi and after her spectacular debut she has managed to create a place of her own. Now, the actress is all geared up to star in two big films, Karan Johar’s Takht and the biopic based on IAF pilot Gunjan Saxena.
While there is still time for Takht which will release in 2020, Janhvi has begun prepping for her role in the Gunjan Saxena biopic. A source told PeepingMoon.com, “Janhvi is taking things a step further to get into the skin of her character. She is in the process of gaining weight before the biopic goes on floors in February-March." The actress will be increasing her weight by six to seven kgs, which is saying a lot as Janhvi is very diet and fitness conscious.

Janhvi who literally lives at the gym and is a self-proclaimed foodie must be very happy thinking and anticipating all the delicious items she will get to relish now in a bid to gain weight. We’re sure Janhvi must be very happy with this turn of events.

Gunjan was the first female IAF pilot who flew into a combat zone during the Kargil War in 1999 and helped evacuate soldiers. For her bravery, she was honoured with the Shaurya Chakra, an Indian military decoration.
