Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut courted a new controversy on Wednesday (October 2, 2024) with a social media post about Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.

The actor, who previously faced backlash for her comments on the farmers' protests, paid homage to Shastri on his 120th birth anniversary through a post that appeared to downplay Gandhi's stature as the Father of the Nation.

"Desh ke pita nahi, desh ke to lal hote hai. Dhanye hai Bharat ma ke ye lal ('The country does not have fathers; it has sons. Blessed are these sons of Mother India)" Ms. Ranaut wrote on her Instagram Stories.
