Kangana Ranaut, Michelle Obama to promote Gandhian philosophy

Mumbai: National Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut, who will soon represent India on an international platform, says she is inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy.

"I believe in many of Gandhiji's mental and spiritual tools that he provided humanity with... The one which comes handy is this simple mantra: Wealth without work, pleasure without human conscience, science without humanity, knowledge without character and politics without principle are fatal," Kangana told IANS. 

"What Gandhiji had explained is an equilibrium of action of a sort... One mustn't exist without the other... It's a very accessible way of explaining 'Cause and Effect' ... I totally buy it," she added.

Kangana will be part of an event in New Jersey to spread Mahatma Gandhi's ideology and philosophy across the globe. The event called 'Gandhi Going Global' will also have her share stage with personalities like Former US First Lady Michelle Obama and US media mogul Oprah Winfrey.

The campaign will be held from August 18-19.
