Mumbai: Actor Kangana Ranaut claimed that Subhas Chandra Bose and Bhagat Singh received no support from Mahatma Gandhi. She also mocked Gandhiji’s mantra of ahimsa by saying that offering another cheek gets you “bheek” not freedom.

In a series of Instagram posts, Kangana this time targeted Mahatma Gandhi and said “choose your heroes wisely”.

The “Manikarnika” actor uploaded an old news clipping headlined “Gandhi, others had agreed to hand over Netaji”.

“Either you are a Gandhi fan or Nataji supporter You can’t be both… Choose and decide,” Kangana captioned the news clipping.

In another post, Kangana, who has courted several controversy claimed, “Those who fought for the freedom were ‘handed over’ to their masters by those who had no courage burning/ boiling hot blood to fight their oppressors but they were power hungry and cunning.”

The actor targeted Gandhi, and even claimed that there was evidence suggesting he wanted Bhagat Singh to be hanged.

“Those are the ones who taught us, ‘If someone slaps you offer another cheek for one more slap’ and that is how you will get Aazadi. That’s not how one gets Aazadi, one can only get bheekh like that. Choose your heros wisely(sic),” the 34-year-old actor said.

The actor said it’s about time people know their history and their heroes.

“… Because just placing them all in one box of your memory and every year wishing them all birth anniversaries is not enough infact it’s not just dumb but highly irresponsible and superficial…,” Kangana added.
