“Rakh Ganga May Mat Bahana”: Kangana Ranaut
Similar to Kangana, Sunil Dutt and Dev Anand also chose to swerved from the Hindu death rituals
One of the most controversial actresses of Bollywood Kangana Ranaut, is a budding poet as well who keeps on showcasing her talent from time to time. Kangana penned down another piece of poetry “Rakh” and channeled a request that “meri rakh ko ganga may mat bahana”.
Ranaut is an Indian actress and filmmaker who has been featured six times in Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list. Apart from her acting skills, Kangana has been a hot potato and tries to catch the public eye with her contentious comments.
Tanu Weds Manu actress is known not only for her fearless and bold approach to burning issues but the actress also shares her impressions about life in her insightful poems.
Previously, Kangana has penned down a piece of poetry reflecting the beauty of the sky “Aasman” in a short video which she shared on social media.
Her recent piece “Rakh” is an inspiration from her hiking trip. Kangana channeled her desire in Rakh that she wants her ashes to be dispersed over mountains rather than immersing in river Ganges (a river where Hindus immerse their cremated remains) after her death.
“Meri rakh ko Ganga me mat bahana
Har nadi sagar me jaake milti hain
Mujhe sagar ki gahraiyon se darr lagta hain
Main aasman ko chuna chahti hoon
Meri rakh ko in pahadon pe bikher dena
Jab suraj ugen, to main use choon saku
Jab main tanha hu, toh chand se baatein karoon
Meri rakh ko us kshitij pe chhod dena…”

According to Hindu death rituals, the body of the deceased is cremated and the ashes are immersed in the river Ganges.
However, Kangana is not the only one from Bollywood Town who chose not to be submerged in water.
