Yes sir 200% i sure i didn’t enable the Bitlocker

Note:- im able to access the my data through Hirens Boot Mini windows but not able to access drive in Kali

This is interesting and odd. Hiren’s boot CD is a Windows PE boot image based, hence it is expected that you can access the Windows partition. This also proves that the drive is NOT encrypted. But if you boot to Kali, then Linux knows how to read the Windows file system and you should be able to access the Windows file system. To do so, Kali will ask you for your sudo to access the disk. I cannot imagine that Kali cannot access a FAT32 or NTFS file system!
