Prajakta Koli On Operation Safed Sagar, Love, and Kargil Memories
Prajakta Koli is a famous YouTuber who also acts in Netflix shows.
Her new show is called Operation Safed Sagar.
It is about Indian Air Force pilots during the 1999 Kargil War.
Prajakta plays Madhavi, the wife of a fighter pilot named Bal Reddy.
Madhavi makes a brave choice - she leaves everything behind because she is in love.
When asked if she would do the same, Prajakta said she could never leave her parents, but she would go 'all out' for love.
Her favourite scene was filmed inside a real MiG-21 fighter plane.
Sitting inside the jet gave her goosebumps because it is such a powerful machine.
Prajakta was only six years old when the Kargil War happened.
She is glad the show exists because kids today can learn about the war from it.

Koli said she could never leave her parents in her personal life, but would 'go all out' if she is in love.

Quotes
Prajakta Koli
Indian YouTuber and actress known as "Mostly Sane"
“Honestly, in my personal life, I cannot leave my parents. I can never. But not everyone feels the same. If you find someone who makes your life beautiful, maybe you would. Perhaps not to the extent of leaving everything behind, but a little bit. I'm also someone who, if I'm in love, will go all out.”
NDTV
“When I read the script and met the makers, the first thing they said was, 'Prajakta, you'll get to sit in a MiG-21.' I was stunned. Then I read the proposal scene, which I thought was so beautiful.”
