Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh paid tributes to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar during a low-key visit to Nagpur on Friday, where he also met RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. Singh visited the Hedgewar Smruti Mandir in Reshimbagh and offered tributes to Hedgewar as well as his successor, second sarsanghchalak Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar. Singh had arrived at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport around 4 pm on Friday and proceeded directly to the RSS headquarters in Mahal, where he met Bhagwat. Once a follower of Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Hedgewar parted ways with the Congress after the Khilafat movement. He was of the view that the Congress and Mahatma Gandhi were not doing enough to protect the rights of the Hindus.
