Kangana Ranaut stirred up a hornet's nest recently when she said that the freedom that India attained in 1947 was given to the nation as a handout by the British. Kangana was speaking at a media summit when she gave the controversial statement saying that "India got true freedom only in 2014". Several politicians have demanded an apology from her and also made an appeal to revoke her recently conferred Padma Shri award, saying that her statement insults the sacrifice of all those freedom fighters who laid down their lives for the nation.source https://www.indiatvnews.com/entertainment/celebrities/kangana-ranaut-defends-her-india-s-freedom-in-1947-was-charity-statement-745187
