Kangana Ranaut Reacts To Javed Akhtar’s Tweet On Bhagat Singh Being Marxist And Atheist

Today, it is the birth anniversary of one of the greatest freedom fighters, Bhagat Singh. On this special occasion, lyricist and Farhan Akhtar's father Javed Akhtar shared a tweet saying that many refused the fact that Shaheed Bhagat Singh was a Marxist. He even mentioned in his tweet that he wonders what would people have called him if he was around today. Responding to Javed's thoughtful tweet, actress Kangana Ranaut who is known to express her opinions in the public domain also wondered what would Bhagat Singh be in today's generation. Kangana wondered if he would have been a rebel against the government or will he wear his Basanti Chola? 

 

Taking to her Twitter handle, Ranaut wrote, "I also wonder if #BhagatSing was alive would he rebel against the government chosen by his own people by a democratic process or will he support them? Had he seen Bharat Mata cut in pieces based on religions would he still choose to be an atheist or will he wear his Basanti Chola?" while quoting Javed Akhtar's tweet, "Some people not only refuse to face the fact but want to hide it from others too that Shaheed Bhagat Singh was a Marxist n had written an article why l am an atheist. Any guess who are such people. I wonder if today he would have been around what they would have called him."

 

Earlier in the day, Kangana Ranaut also paid a tribute to Shaheed Bhagat Singh by sharing a picture of the freedom fighter and backed with, "Mera Rang de Basanti Chola O mera Rang De Basanti Chola... #BhagatSingh"
