Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, who is a Lok Sabha candidate from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi, called Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose as independent India’s first Prime Minister. The video of Ranaut making the statement at a press event quickly gained traction among the netizens who have started to troll the actress.

The viral video was then shared by Congress leader BV Srinivas, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal, and other opposition leaders. Posting the video, Maliwal who was the former Delhi Commission For Women chairperson and is now AAP Rajya Sabha MP reacted and said “Vote for educated and sensible people.”

Another Congress leader Supriya Shrinate shared Ranaut’s statement saying, “Don’t take her lightly – she will go ahead in the list of BJP leaders”.

An Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Vinay Mishra took a potshot at the actress’s statement on the X platform, saying her a “graduate in Quantum History”.

Bharat Rashtriya Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao also took a jibe at the actress saying “One BJP candidate from North says Subash Chandra Bose was our first PM!! Another BJP leader from the South says Mahatma Gandhi was our PM!! Where did all these people graduate from?”

Earlier, she was also trolled for claiming that India got real independence after Narendra Modi was elected as the prime minister of the country in 2014. Back in March, the Queen actress held a roadshow in her constituency.

Speaking to reporters before starting her roadshow, Ranaut said that the people of Mandi are proud that the “daughter of Mandi, the nationalist voice from Mandi will represent the constituency in this election.”

Ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, Ranaut said, “Development is the main issue for BJP…The people of Mandi will show what is in their heart.”
