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.
Prajakta Koli, known as 'Mostly Sane', plays Madhavi Reddy, wife of an Indian Air Force officer, in Netflix's Operation Safed Sagar.
The series is set against the backdrop of the 1999 Kargil War and follows the world of frontline fighter pilots.
Koli said she could never leave her parents in her personal life, but would 'go all out' if she is in love.
