Pratik Gandhi
Having deep-dived into the life and journey of 19th-century social reformers Jyotirao Phule and his wife Savitribai Phule, Pratik Gandhi couldn’t come across a better occasion than the latter’s birth anniversary to express his gratitude for their endeavours.
January 3 marked the 192nd birth anniversary of Savitribai, an educationalist and poet who played a vital role in improving women’s plight in society, with Patralekhaa slipping into her part for Ananth Narayanan Mahadevan’s film, Phule, which features Gandhi as Jyotirao. The Scam 1992 actor tells mid-day, “Savitribai and Jyotiba pioneered women’s education in our country. They were not afraid of anything and worked hard to bring about essential changes in society. While several decades have passed since they introduced reforms, and people may believe that the issues [plaguing society] are different today, some concerns that they raised are still relevant in this day and age.”
