Several social media users have slammed Kangana for her remarks, with many accusing her of "insulting India's freedom fighters." During her monologue, Kangana mentioned Veer Savarkar, Lakshmibai, and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose by name.

"Coming back to Savarkar, Lakshmibai, or Netaji Bose...these people recognised that the blood will flow, but it shouldn't be Hindustani blood," Kangana Ranaut said during the summit. They were well aware of it. Of course, they had to pay a prize. Woh azaadi nahi thi, woh bheek thi,  Aur jo azaadi mili hai woh 2014 mai mili hai.  (That wasn’t freedom, those were alms. And we got real freedom in 2014.)”



A twitter account named Rofl Gandhi 2.0 shared a clip of Kangana Ranaut of her speech during the summit captioning, “A government sycophant who became a warrior by holding a plastic sword and sitting on a wooden horse, is insulting the freedom soldiers. She’s calling the fruits of our sacrifices, alms.”(translated)


At first, Kangana asked the audience sitting during interview, “Azaadi agar bheek mai mile kya woh azaadi ho sakti hai? (If freedoms comes after begging, can that be real freedom?)”.

After the reply, the interviewer smartly said to Kangana, “Isi liye log aapko kehte hai ki aap bhagwaan hai. (This is why people say you're a God.)” The audience also applauded Kangana Ranaut's comments.


MP Varun Gandhi reacted on Kangana Ranaut’ controversial remarks by writing in hindi, “  "Sometimes Mahatma Gandhi’s dedication and sacrifices are insulted, sometimes his killer is respected. And now lakhs of freedom fighters, from Shaheed Mangal Pandey to Rani Lakshmibai, Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, are being insulted. Should I call this thinking madness or treason?”



Actor Swara Bhasker also reacted to the clip of Manikarnika actress and wrote, "Who are the idiots who are clapping is what I want to know.."



Pankaj Jain reacted to the controversial statement of the actress. He wrote in Hindi, "Kangana said that we got Independence in 1947 by begging and we got real independence in 2014. This isn't shocking because this is exactly what we expect from her. According to her, Subhas (Chandra Bose), Bhagat (Singh), or Chandra Shekhar (Azad) didn't do anything. I was bothered by the people who clapped at such a statement. This is where the country is standing now."



Have a look at some of the other tweets:








Kangana Ranaut discussed how the British Raj exploited the Indian population, referencing the 1857 Revolt that the British crushed.


"Indians built in themselves a deep sense of being wronged," Kangana continued. When you've been stripped of everything, all you want to do is fight. I'm not saying "this is correct" or "this is incorrect." That, I believe, is what the human psyche is."


"And the British were acutely aware that blood will flow but they decided whose blood will flow," Kangana claimed, accusing people labelled "liberals and Congress" of assisting Britishers in their agenda. It shouldn’t be their blood . They needed some people to assist them with this. They needed some people to assist them in this so that Indian blood could flow. Congress, these are the people who were labelled as liberals.”
