She married Gangadhar Rao, who was the Raja of Jhansi, at a very tender age. While other girls of her age chose to do household chores, she played and defeated the local boys in muddy matches of kabaddi. Born as Manikarnika, Lakshmi Bai, also known as 'Manu' was the daughter of a Maharashtrian Brahmin Moropant Tambe from Varanasi. The show is a tribute to her bravery, gallantry and patriotism. The Rani is shown as a mother, as a wife, as a daughter, as a warrior and essays all the roles with equal aplomb. The show attempts to bring forth the various facets of this remarkable woman which are yet unknown to people. The fervor that she aroused gave birth to various leaders and revolutionaries who finally freed our nation from the British. Her defiance against the British is exemplary even today. Jhansi Ki Rani is the story of an ordinary girl who went on to become an extraordinary ruler.
