He compared the Hindi language to a mother, saying, “Mother, mother tongue, and motherland are the roots of our civilisation and culture. They teach us to connect with the world, not to fight with it. Their debt can never truly be repaid.”

The actor urged people to protect the language and nurture it with love. To him, Hindi is not just a language but an emotion that unites people from different backgrounds. He stressed that we must see it as a guiding force rather than just a medium of communication.

To mark the day, Rana also made a special announcement. His much-loved play ‘Humare Ram’ will reach its 300th stage performance on Hindi Diwas.

In ‘Humare Ram’, Ashutosh Rana plays the role of Ravan, while Rahull Bhuchar portrays Lord Ram. The cast also includes Danish Akhtar as Hanuman, Tarun Khanna as Lord Shiva, Harrleen Kaur Rekhi as Sita, and Karan Sharma as Surya Deva. Rana also shared a few pictures of himself in his dramatic stage look.

For those who may not know, Hindi Diwas falls every year on September 14. The day marks the adoption of Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, as one of India’s official languages back in 1949 by the Constituent Assembly.

Since then, it has become a day to celebrate the richness of the language and its role in connecting India’s diverse communities.
