Delhi Commission for Women
chief
Swati Maliwal
on Friday slammed Bollywood actor
Kangana Ranaut for her remarks on the country's
independence
.
Ranaut had kicked off a row on Thursday by declaring that India attained "real freedom" in 2014, when the Narendra Modi-led government came to power, and describing the country's Independence in 1947 as "bheek", or alms.
"The freedom attained due to
Bhagat Singh,
Azad
and Gandhi seem like 'bheek' to her and she calls 'satta ki ghulami' (being a slave to those in power) real freedom. Did she get a national award for such thinking?" Maliwal tweeted in Hindi, while sharing Ranaut's video clip in which she made the comments.
Ranaut was recently awarded the Padma Shri and the National Film Award for Best Actress for her performances in
Manikarnika
: Queen of Jhansi and Panga.
