Raashii Khanna Shares Moving BTS Tribute Ahead of ‘120 Bahadur’ Release

Mumbai is abuzz with anticipation for the release of the upcoming war drama, ‘120 Bahadur,’ and actress Raashii Khanna has amplified the excitement with a deeply emotional behind-the-scenes (BTS) post. Her heartfelt tribute focuses on the quiet strength and immense sacrifice of military wives, capturing the emotional core of her character, Shugan Shaitan Singh, the spouse of Major Shaitan Singh (portrayed by Farhan Akhtar).

The Unseen Battle: “She Lived the War Every Day”

Taking to her social media, Raashii Khanna shared a poignant message alongside a glimpse of her portrayal, resonating powerfully with fans. Her words were a touching dedication to the unsung heroes of military families.

“She didn’t go to the battlefield, but she lived the war every day. Meet Shugan Shaitan Singh. This one is for the women who love in silence, who hold the home while the nation calls, and who carry pride and pain in the same breath.”

This striking sentiment highlights the profound emotional burden carried by an army wife—the constant, silent fear and resilience that define their existence far from the frontlines. The post has quickly garnered widespread appreciation, drawing focus to the lesser-told side of a soldier’s sacrifice.

A Role That Tested and Transformed the Actor

Raashii Khanna’s journey with the character of Shugan has been one of deep immersion and emotional transformation. At the film’s recent music launch, the actress spoke candidly about the demands of the role and how the profound script affected her personally.

• Emotional Depth: Raashii described the experience as one that “tested me as an actor.” She admitted that the scenes were written with such depth that she frequently found herself getting intensely emotional during the shoot.
• Silent Strength: She shed light on the unspoken compromises an army wife makes, including the pervasive and heavy feeling of living with the truth that her loved one might not return.
• The Power of the Eyes: The actress revealed that her performance relies heavily on non-verbal communication, suggesting that her character’s deep well of emotions—the “undercurrent of loss”—will be understood mostly through her eyes.

“I think I love being part of films that do that,” Raashii commented, acknowledging the challenge and fulfillment of bringing such a complex, layered character to life.

On-Screen Chemistry and Off-Screen Camaraderie

The film, which chronicles the heroic saga based on the Battle of Rezang La, has already generated buzz for the on-screen chemistry between Raashii Khanna and Farhan Akhtar. The actors’ effortless camaraderie, which was evident during promotional events, suggests an authentic and moving dynamic that will anchor the human element of the war story.

As ‘120 Bahadur’ gears up for its theatrical release, Raashii Khanna’s heartfelt BTS post serves as a powerful reminder: while the film celebrates the bravery of the soldiers on the battlefield, it equally honours the immense courage, resilience, and silent sacrifice of the women who are, in their own way, fighting a war every single day.
