"Should Embrace All Our Heroes": Shashi Tharoor Amid Political Row Over 'Kesari 2'

A political storm has brewed around 'Kesari 2', a film starring Akshay Kumar as Chettur Sankaran Nair, a nationalist icon who challenged British rule through legal battles, notably over the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The movie has sparked a row, with the BJP slamming Congress for allegedly sidelining Nair's legacy, while Congress leader Shashi Tharoor praised Akshay Kumar for bringing the story to light, arguing Nair deserves greater recognition. NDTV's Marya Shakil spoke to Congress Mr Tharoor, who said it's important for us to embrace all our heroes.
