Their differing ideologies often led to tensions and debates, particularly regarding the marginalized communities.
Janhvi Kapoo's interview
During an interview with The Lallantop, Janhvi Kapoor said, “I think it would be very interesting to watch a debate between Ambedkar and Gandhi.” To this, the interviewer responded with “Wow.” Janhvi further shared her thoughts saying, “Just a debate between what they stand for and how their views kept changing over time, and how they influenced each other. They’ve helped our society, and so what they feel about each other. I just think it would a very interesting discourse.”
Janhvi Kapoor added, “Ambedkar was still very stern and clear from the start and what his stand was. But I think Gandhi’s views kept evolving as he got more and more exposed to the issue of caste discrimination in our society. To learn about it from a third person view and living it as firsthand is quite different.”
