The actress shared an inspiring clip on her official Instagram handle. She wrote, “Not now, not ever. Students, dreams, hard work, exams, passing, success, still failure, then anger, suffering, then exams again, then all the same previous steps and then suicide.” She added, “This has been going on for so many years and we have to stand up to make sure it doesn’t happen again. It is my duty to be a part of this fight.”
In an interview with ABP Majha, she talked about her decision to support the cause. Mahangade said, “This fight has not started this year. I was already a part of the Maratha Kranti Morcha. The eighth and ninth graders in my village start preparing to join the army.” She stated that even though they get a high percentage, they are not called for recruitment. The ones who get 60 per cent are called. She added, “Everyone should get a place according to their ability. Give us our own separate reservation so that our hard-working children will succeed.”
