She further paid respect and gratitude to ‘Veer Savarkar ji’ and said, “How scared they must have been of him not only they kept him in Kala Paani in those days it must be impossible to escape from this tiny island in the middle of sea yet they put chains on him built a thick walled jail and locked him up in a tiny hole, imagine the fear as if he can fly on thin air across the never ending sea, what cowards… !! This cell is the truth of Aazadi not what they teach us in our text books …. I meditated in the cell paid my gratitude and deepest respect to Veer Savarkar ji…
She also took to Instagram stories and shared several pictures from inside the Cellular Jail which is now open for tourists.
