Presenting Ankita Lokhande As Jhalkari Bai In Manikarnika!
Ankita Lokhande is all set to debut in Bollywood and fans will see her playing Jhalkari Bai in Manikarnika. Here’s her look for the part
Here is the official look of Ankita Lokhande as Jhalkari Bai in her debut film- Manikarnika. The character of Jhalkari Bai was a prominent one. A woman soldier in Rani Laxmibai’s army, Jhalkari Bai eventually rose to the position of an advisor to the Queen. She was a Dalit hero and is still being worshipped by them. There are many statues in her honour but yet she is one true unsung hero.
To give her 100 percent to the character, Ankita trained in horse-riding and sword fighting for 30-35 days, under the guidance of Hollywood action director, Nick Powell. While the audience is ready to witness the epic drama, Ankita’s action will definitely add up to the excitement.

You may recall, in November, the actress had paid tribute to Jhalkari Bai on the occasion of her 188th birth anniversary. She wrote, “On the occasion of Jhalkari Bai’s 188th Birth anniversary, I want to take this opportunity to introduce you to the women she really was. Jhalkaribai was a woman soldier who played an important role in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. She served in the women's army of Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi. She eventually rose to a position of a prominent advisor to the queen, Rani of Jhansi herself. Her heroism and sacrifices for the society are unsung but this woman was one of the most important factors in the battle of Jhansi.
I had never thought that I would get a chance to play such a strong character in my life but Manikarnika had taken me to a journey of not only discovering the real Jhalkari Bai but also helped me discover the Jhalkari Bai in me. This note is to each and every girl who is out there and who are fighting their own battles. I just want to tell you that don't give up. Fight your battles with pride and never let anyone put you down. @manikarnikathefilm releasing on 25th January 2019 #KanganaRanaut @ZeeStudios_ @kamaljain_thekj @Dirkrish@Jisshusengupta @prasoonjoshi_#vijayendraprasad @Shankar_Live@neeta_lulla #ankitalokhande.” Manikarnika is slated to release on 25th Jan, 2019
