Have you heard? Kangana Ranaut ready to return Padma Shri if proven wrong

Kangana Ranaut

Under attack for describing India’s Independence as “bheek,” a combative Kangana Ranaut on Saturday asked which war took place in 1947 and said she would return her Padma Shri and apologise if anyone could provide answers. The actor, known for her provocative statements, posted a series of questions on Instagram, also bringing in Partition as well as Mahatma Gandhi and alleging that “he let Bhagat Singh die” and “did not support Subhas Chandra Bose”. She shared a passage from a book quoting freedom fighters, including Lokmanya Tilak, Aurobindo Ghosh and Bipin Chandra Pal, and said she knew about the “collective fight for freedom of 1857, but nothing about a war in 1947.” Ranaut claimed that even a “small fight by the INA” would have got us freedom and Bose could have been prime minister. “Why was freedom placed in the begging bowl of the Congress when the right-wing was prepared to fight and take it? Can someone please help me understand,” she posted.

A ride to remember

Rani Mukerji

In one of the scenes in Bunty Aur Babli 2, Rani Mukerji drives an ATV bike. Her character Vimmy is trying to do something out of the ordinary. “She [Vimmy] has taken her anger to a comic level. It is the closest that I could come to do a comedy-action film,” says Mukerji.
