Rising pan-India star Raashii Khanna recently shed light on her latest project, ‘The Sabarmati Report’, during an engaging event.

When asked about her choice to star in ‘The Sabarmati Report’, Khanna emphasized the distinction between her personal beliefs and her professional choices. “Me as a person is different from me as an actor,” she explained. “When I have the chance to showcase the truth that has influenced our history, I feel compelled to be at the forefront.”

With the teaser already stirring interest, Khanna shared that viewers can expect a powerful message that addresses the social responsibilities of actors.

“We cannot just play roles without considering the impact on our audience,” she asserted. “Our team has dedicated years to present a narrative that showcases the truth.”
