Ankita Lokhande on Kangana Ranaut: She is the hero of Manikarnika and

Ankita Lokhande is all set to make her
Bollywood debut alongside Kangana Ranaut
in Manikarnika - The Queen of Jhansi. In the
film, Ankita will be playing the role of
Jhalkaribai, Rani Laxmibai's close aide who
helped her fight against the British rule.
Recently at an event when Ankita was asked
about Kangana, she stated, "She's a
professional on the sets. And you can only
see Rani Laxmibai on the sets."
Ankita further said, "Kangana is the hero of
the film, and she's launching me as the
heroine of this film. I'm assuming I'm the
heroine now! It's not tough to launch
someone, but it's important to give the right
platform, which I've got. I'm playing the role
of Jhalkaribai in the film, and it's a fabulous
part. I'm working very hard for my role."
Ankita's character is important in the film as
Jhalkari Bai was the one who used to
disguise and shield Rani Laxmi Bai. Her
uncanny resemblance to Rani Laxmibai
helped her go in disguise and protect her
Queen whenever required.
Talking about her role, Ankita Lokhande
stated, "I'd never heard of her before, not
many have, but Jhalkaribai was one of the
greatest heroes of our proud history. I'm
honoured that I'll be telling her story to the
world, fighting alongside Kangana's Rani
Laxmibai."
To prepare for the role, Ankita took horse-
riding lessons. According to reports,
Kangana and Ankita have already shot for
some scenes together. From the past few
months, Ankita has been taking training in
sword-fighting and is making sure to get
into the skin of her character perfectly.
