Who was Mirabai?
Mirabai is one of Lord Krishan's most ardent supporters, for those who are unaware. She was so in love with him that she left the royal castle to go on a spiritual adventure. While her in-laws conspired against her and even attempted to murder her, it was Lord Krishan who saved her. Hema Malini staged a one-and-a-half hour-long dance drama based on her life to commemorate her life.
