Pankaj Tripathi who essayed the role of Janhvi's father in the film is the one who gives wings to her aspirations and supports her.Apart from Janhvi's performance in the movie, Pankaj Tripathi was lauded for his performance as Anup Saxena in 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl'.

Anup supported the unusual dream of his daughter Gunjan (played by Janhvi Kapoor) of becoming a pilot.

Anup advised her to follow her dreams without thinking of others' opinions or what society says.One of the most inspirational movies in Bollywood with power-packed dialogues.Pankaj Tripathi's dialogue from the movie in favour of supporting Gujan's dream is a lesson that regardless of being a man or a woman, all should be treated as equals in every field. He says, "Plane ladka udaaye ya ladki dono ko pilot hi bolte hain. Aur jab plane ko fark nahi padta hai ki use kaun udda raha hai to tumhe kyon padta hai? (Whether it's a man or a woman flying the plane, they are both called pilots. And if the plane doesn't care who's flying it, why should you?)".Further extending the celebration, Dharma Productions also posted a video with a caption that stated, "A story of a girl who chased a dream and took over the skies!
