Upon being asked why she chose the said topic, Kangana told Mumbai Mirror, "The Ram temple has been a burning topic for hundreds of years. I have grown up hearing the name Ayodhya in a negative light." "The case has changed the face of Indian politics and the verdict has ended the centuries-old dispute while embodying the secular spirit of India," she further added.
