'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata' cast highlights untold 26/11 heroism, Union Minister Giriraj Singh hails Kangana Ranaut
New Delhi, June 10
'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata' actors Smita Tambe, Girija Oak and Esha Dey reflected on the profound responsibility of bringing to light one of the untold stories of courage from the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.
Speaking to the media at the screening of 'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata', Girija Oak shared, "Our film brings one of the most unspoken chapters of the 26/11 attacks. There are a lot of bad memories in people's minds about the attack, and we hope to show a positive side through our film. At the time when there was a major death toll, there was also a large number of people saved. This film has a human spirit at the core which cannot be defeated."
Girija also spoke about working with Kangana Ranaut and added, "It was a lovely experience. She is a team player. Not just as an actor but also as a producer, she did a great job."
Actor Esha Dey shared, "We are trying to share a good story. We bring to the fore the untold story of those simple women who emerged as heroes. Anyone can push their limits to become a hero."
Actor Smita Tambe, who also portrays the character of a nurse in 'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata', said, "The film focuses on the life of every woman, every nurse who has effortlessly fulfilled all her duties, including looking after her family and prioritising service toward society.
Union Minister Giriraj Singh, who was also present at the screening, hailed Kangana Ranaut for leading the film's narrative.
"I would like to thank Kangana Ranaut for bringing to light the events from 26/11. People don't know the real heroes, and their stories are still untouched - something which the film presents to the audience. The film gives an opportunity to the nation, to the youth to learn more about these stories," the Union Minister told the media.
BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj congratulated Kangana Ranaut for presenting a film about unsung heroes.
"I congratulate my friend Kangana for delivering a good message to society through her films. She not only brings entertainment but also leaves a positive influence on the youth.
Several distinguished guests were present at the screening of 'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata' on Tuesday evening.
Lead star Kangana Ranaut, along with Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, were also in attendance.
Headlined by Kangana, the film shifts the spotlight from celebrated heroes to nurses and ward boys who emerged as silent saviours during one of India's darkest chapters.
'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata' is scheduled to release in theatres on June 12.

I appreciate the intention but I hope the film doesn't become another Kangana propaganda vehicle. 26/11 is a sensitive topic - we need authentic storytelling, not political messaging. Let's wait and watch how the film handles the delicate balance between tribute and entertainment.
I was in Mumbai during 26/11. My cousin was working at CST station. The courage of the medical staff that night was unbelievable. They worked non-stop for 48 hours saving lives. If this film shows even 10% of that spirit, it will be a masterpiece. Thank you Kangana for this tribute.
Giriraj Singh praising this film says a lot. BJP ministers are always quick to support anything related to nationalism. But 26/11 was a national tragedy, not a political opportunity. I hope the film focuses on human stories, not political narratives. The real heroes don't need political endorsements.
I'm glad they're showing the role of women nurses during the attacks. Usually these stories are told from a male perspective. My mother was a nurse for 30 years - she always said real heroism is silent and consistent. Can't wait to see this film! ✨
I'll watch it for the story, not for Kangana. She has made too many controversial statements to be taken seriously as a pure artist. But if the film genuinely honors the 26/11 heroes, I'm willing to give it a chance. Actions speak louder than words. Watch out on June 12.
