For all admirers of the feisty Kangana Ranaut, there is some amazing news for you. Kangana Ranaut has been invited at an international forum to talk about Gandhian philosophies. The summit, called 'Gandhi Goes Global', will discuss Mahatma's ideologies through interactive activities, educational programs, motivational talks and cultural events and is to be held in New Jersey, USA. The event will be held on August 18 and 19 this year.
What's more, Kangana Ranaut is sharing the prestigious dias with Oprah Winfrey and the former First Lady, Michelle Obama. Kangana Ranaut confirmed her involvement in a statement to the media. She had said, "For me, its always been about the impact you make on the society and how you contribute to it. Sharing the Stage with Michelle and Oprah will be inspiring. I've never been anybody's fan but I admire and idolize women like Oprah. Once I get back to Mumbai, I will know exactly what I am talking on and for how long, depending on which I will prepare my speech."
But is Kangana the right person to talk about Gandhian philosophies? We are not quite sure of that. But the National Award winning actress insists that she has been using Gandhian philosophies in her life. Speaking to IANS, she said, "I believe in many of Gandhiji's mental and spiritual tools that he provided humanity with... The one which comes handy is this simple mantra: Wealth without work, pleasure without human conscience, science without humanity, knowledge without character and politics without principle are fatal. What Gandhiji had explained is an equilibrium of action of a sort... One mustn't exist without the other... It's a very accessible way of explaining 'Cause and Effect' ... I totally buy it."
Kangana Ranaut will be next seen as Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi in Manikarnika. She will also reunite with her Queen co-star Rajkummar Rao in the quirky Mental Hai Kya.
