"Will Return Padma Shri, If...": Kangana Ranaut's Latest Amid Azadi Row
NDTV
Kangana Ranaut today seemed to suggest that she called the Congress a "beggar" and cited some select opinions about the party from a history textbook.
Amid growing calls for revocation of her Padma honour and that the actor be arrested over her azadi comment, Kangana Ranaut today said she will return her Padma Shri and also apologise if only anyone could answer a question of hers.
The actor, in a recent television interview, remarked that India got its freedom in 2014 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power and what it got in 1947 after a decades-long struggle by freedom fighters was "bheekh" or handout.
"Everything is very clearly mentioned in the same interview 1857 first collective fight for freedom... along with sacrifice of greats like Subhash Chandra Bose, Rani Laxmibai and Veer Savarkar ji. 1857 I know but which war took place in 1947 I am not aware, if someone can bring to my awareness I will give back my Padma Shri and apologise also... please help me with this," she posted earlier today on photo-sharing app Instagram.
