Kangana Ranaut
Speaking about her next film, Tejas, Kangana Ranaut—who essays the role of a fighter pilot in it— said: “It explores the emotional journey of a soldier stationed at the borders, delving into the psyche of an Indian soldier and the impact of discussions on their morale. When you speak disparagingly about our soldiers, questioning their dedication, and even refusing to stand for the national anthem, it not only disheartens them but also reflects a lack of responsibility. Our soldiers exhibit immense courage and valour while facing adversaries, yet they are sometimes unjustly criticised.” Ranaut was speaking at a conclave alongside Lieutenant Shivangi Singh, the first woman fighter pilot to soar in the skies in a Rafale jet. The actor said the film aims to shed light on the unfounded accusations and irresponsible statements made against our armed forces.
