Hooda penned a heartfelt note, expressing his deep admiration and respect as he wrote, ''On his death anniversary, we remember Veer Savarkar, a pioneering figure in India’s struggle for independence. His work, The History of the First War of Indian Independence, redefined the 1857 uprising as a nationwide fight for freedom, inspiring generations of revolutionaries.''

Expressing gratitude for his remarkable contributions, the post further reads, ''As the actor and director who had the privilege of portraying him, I’ve witnessed the depth of his commitment. Despite being sentenced to 50 years life imprisonment , and enduring Kaala Paani, Savarkar stayed steadfast in his belief that armed resistance was key to India’s independence. Though his contributions are often overlooked and misjudged, his vision of self-reliance, national pride, and a strong defense laid the foundation for India’s rise as a global power today. Savarkar’s legacy remains as relevant today as it was then''
