Hi raghav297,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Our recommendation is to ensure that you and the recipient meet the requirements for AirDrop. Here's what you'll want to verify:
Before you begin
* Make sure that the person you're sending to is nearby and within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range.
* Check that you and the person you're sending to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. If either of you have Personal Hotspot on, turn it off.
* Check if the person you're sending to has their AirDrop set to receive from Contacts Only. If they do, and you're in their Contacts, they need to have your Apple ID's email address or mobile number in your contact card for AirDrop to work.
* If you're not in their Contacts, have them set their AirDrop receiving setting to Everyone in order to receive the file.
You can put your AirDrop receiving setting to Contacts Only or Receiving Off at any time to control who can see your device and send you content in AirDrop.
Following these steps may help you to use AirDrop and is outlined in this article for you to reference: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Best regards.
