Today marks the 190th birth anniversary of the fearless freedom fighter Rani Laxmi Bai. Kangana Ranaut will be seen playing her on the celluloid soon. On this day, the actress talks about how the legendary freedom fighter inspired her.
She said, “When Akhand Bharat was agreed upon, she really believed in new age India and fought for it. I think the best way to give her tribute is to value what we have today and to make Bharat a glorious country and world power. She was a true patriot who wanted her country to be a glorious one. I think to pursue her dream would be the best way to give her a tribute.”
