Her battle is like that of Shri Krishna' against evil: Kangana Ranaut's Dad

The father of film star and national sensation KanganaRanaut, who had been advising his daughter to not take on powerful lobbies of Bollywood, feels humbled today.

Recently, Kangana shared on her social media pages, a video of a family conversation in which her father AmardeepRanaut was anxious over the controversies surrounding his daughter. In the video, which went viral, Amardeep was heard telling Kangana not to be at loggerheads with anyone.

He was visibly upset after the ruling party of Maharashtra, Shiv Sena threatened and abused Kangana over her campaign seeking justice for actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who died in mysterious circumstances in Mumbai, on June 14 this year. The Maharashtra government has been accused of a cover-up in the case, which allegedly is linked to some powerful lobbies and drug mafia in Bollywood.

Kangana, one of the most acclaimed and successful actors in India, who has won several awards, including three National Film awards, is at the forefront of the campaign against nepotism, corruption and criminality in Hindi film industry. The 33-year-old spunky actor's views, which she expresses through her tweets, videos and interviews, have swept the public discourse in India since she championed Sushant Singh Rajput's cause.

"She does not spare even her Papa. To make me understand the meaning of her struggle, she shared the private family conversation with public on social media. After seeing the response of the nation, I now understand what this battle is about," Amardeep describing his daughter's feistiness and determination, told IANS in an exclusive phone interview.

A native of town Bhambla in Mandi district in Himachal Pradesh, Amardeep sees his daughter's struggle for truth in the context of the larger battle between good and evil. Her mission is like that of Lord Shri Krishna telling Arjuna in the battlefield of Kurukshetra for Mahabharata, 'Yadayada hi dharmasya, glanirbhavatiBharata, Abyuthhanamdharmasyatadatmanamsrijamahayam/ paritranayasadhunamvinashaya cha dushkritam, dharma-sansthapanarthayasambhavamiyugeyuge!'

The quote is Bhagavad Gita's seminal verse which means, whenever there is decay of righteousness and rise in evil, then the Lord manifests itself in some form to establish righteousness. (IANS)
