Dussehra 2023: Kangana Ranaut will likely be performing Ravan Dahan held yearly on the Purple Fort, Delhi. She would be the first girl to set the effigy of Ravan on fireplace.
Actor Kangana Ranaut will carry out the Ravan Dahan on the nationwide capital’s famed Lav Kush Ramleela on the event of Dussehra on Tuesday. Within the 50-year historical past of the occasion, held yearly on the Purple Fort, this would be the first time a girl will set the effigy of the demon king ablaze by capturing an arrow, mentioned Arjun Singh, president of Lav Kush Ramleela Committee of Delhi. Singh mentioned the choice was taken by the committee in a nod to the Ladies’s Reservation Invoice, which was handed by the Parliament final month.
“Be it a movie star or a politician, yearly we’ve got a VIP grace our occasion. Previously, we’ve got had former President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi do the honours. Amongst movie stars, Ajay Devgn and John Abraham have been right here. Final yr, Prabhas did the Ravan Dahan. For the primary time in 50 years of our occasion, will probably be a girl who will do the Ravan Dahan.
“Lav Kush Ramleela Committee also wants equal rights for women. Women participation is increasing in every walk of life today but there is still a long way to go. The bill will help in the development of the country and society,” Singh instructed PTI.
To usher in equality, we have to dispose of narrow-mindedness, he mentioned.
“Now, a woman can also set fire to the effigy of Ravan, she can end evil too. Women should be given this right too. And that’s why we chose Kangana ji for the same,” added Singh.
The Ladies Reservation Invoice seeks to ensure 33 per cent for girls in Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
Ranaut is presently selling her movie “Tejas”, scheduled to be launched on Friday. The film, written and directed by Sarvesh Mewara, options her within the function of an Indian Air Power pilot.
