Kangana Ranaut called Subhash Chandra Bose the prime minister in a televised interview. 'Where did India's first Prime Minister Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose go when we got independence?' That was the question of the actress. This led to great criticism and ridicule. Congress leader Supriya Sreenathe also took the stage by mocking Kangana. The Congress leader joked that Kangana should not be seen as an ordinary woman and that she will top the list of BJP leaders.

Earlier, Kangana's remark that India got real freedom only after Narendra Modi came to power as Prime Minister in 2014 was also subject to social media trolls.
