note
to
go
with
it.
"Today
marks
the
120th
birth
anniversary
of
Sardar
Udham
Singh.
Portraying
a
character
is
one
thing.
But
understanding
the
way
they
viewed
the
world,
reliving
their
emotions
is
another.
I
don't
know
how
much
closer
I
will
get
to
what
went
inside
your
head
and
heart.
But
I
do
know
that
with
every
scene
that
I
play
you,
something
inside
me
alters
forever.
Sardar
Udham
Singh
(26thDec1899-31stJuly1940)"
(sic)
he
wrote.
