It is very recent when Kangana Ranaut was respected again with a national award for her marvellous performance in movies like Manikarnika and Panga. Honourable President of India Ram Nath Kovind honoured Kanagana Ranaut with the fourth highest civilian award, Padma Shri. And this is Kangana’s fourth National Award in a row.
But controversy on the national award is stated to brew when Kangana stated that our freedom is “bheekh” to us. As for the contradiction of this statement famous music director of Bollywood, Vishal Dadlani came forward and post a photo wearing a T-shirt with a print of Bhagat Singh and captioned it as Remind the lady who said our Independence was “bheekh”. The man on my t-shirt is Shaheed Sardar Bhagat Singh, atheist, poet philosopher, Freedom Fighter, son of India, and son of a Farmer. He gave his life for our freedom, for India’s Independence at age 23, and went to the gallows with a smile and a song on his lips.
Remind her of him, of Sukhdev, of Rajguru, of Ashfaqullah, and all the many thousands of others who refused to bow, refused to beg.
Remind her politely, but strongly, so she never again dares to forget. Said by Vishal Dadlani.
After this statement controversy heated up to the next level and Kangana Ranaut announced that she will return her National Award if anyone can prove that she disrespected the Martyrs from her words.
“Everything is very clearly mentioned in the same interview 1857 first collective fight for freedom along with the 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.” Mentioned by India Today.
