Music composer Vishal Dadlani, on Saturday, reacted to Kangana Ranaut's controversial remarks on the country's Independence. On Thursday, Kangana had said that India attained freedom in 2014 when the Narendra Modi-led government came to power and described the country's Independence in 1947 as "bheekh" or alms. Kangana Ranaut Reacts to the Controversy Around Her Freedom Was ‘Bheek’ Remark, Says ‘Prove I Disrespected Martyrs, Freedom Fighters and I Will Return Padma Shri’.

Taking to his Instagram handle, Vishal shared a post in which he can be seen wearing a t-shirt with Bhagat Singh's picture on it along with the word, "zindabad". Along with the picture, Vishal penned the caption, "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." Kangana Ranaut Gets Slammed For Her ‘Freedom Came in 2014’ Remark; MVA Govt Demands Her Arrest and Asks Centre to Take Actor’s State Honours.

He further wrote about other freedom fighters who "refused to beg". "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." Earlier today, Kangana said on social media that she will return her Padma Shri award if anyone can prove that she has disrespected martyrs and freedom fighters.

Previously, several politicians have also reacted with outrage at her comments.
