Kangana Ranaut is no stranger to controversies as she is someone who believes in speaking her mind without any hesitation. She once again stirred up controversy with her views on India’s independence struggle against British rule. Last week, while speaking at a summit, she said that India’s freedom was a ‘bheekh (handout)’.

On Tuesday, Kangana shared an old newspaper article and wrote, “Either you are a Gandhi fan or Netaji supporter. You can’t be both, choose and decide.” The newspaper had an old article from the 1940s with the headline, “Gandhi, others agreed to hand over Netaji.” She took potshots at Mahatma Gandhi and said, “Those are the ones who taught us if someone slaps you offer another cheek for one more slap and that is how you will get aazaadi. That’s not how one gets aazadi, one can only get bheekh like that. Choose your heroes wisely.”

Kangana also claimed that Gandhi ‘never supported’ Bhagat Singh or Subhas Chandra Bose. “So you need to choose who you support because just placing them all in one box of your memory and every year wishing them all on their birth anniversaries is not enough. In fact, it is not just dumb, it is highly irresponsible and superficial. One must know their history and their heroes,” she said.

Well, her remarks haven’t gone down too well with social media users who think she has completely lost it. They have termed her as ‘deshdrohi’ and also went on to say that she has been appointed by the BJP government to distract people from important topics.

Here are the reactions:

Kangana had recently received the prestigious Padma Shri from President Ram Nath Kovind at a ceremony hosted at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in the capital on November 8.
