Speaking at the Times Now Summit, Kangana made a surprising declaration, referring to Netaji as independent India's first Prime Minister. The snippet from her interview swiftly circulated across social media platforms, garnering significant attention after being shared by prominent political personalities.

The Congress party's official social media handle also joined the mockery by sharing Kangana’s video snippet of her controversial statement. They wrote a witty caption in Hindi, “Kangana ji has a deep understanding of history. If two-four more such examples are presented then BJP can be a strong contender for the post of Prime Minister.”

Following the social media uproar, Kangana took to Instagram Stories to share an article clipping highlighting Subhash Chandra Bose's self-declaration as the Prime Minister of Azad Hind in 1943. Accompanying the post, she wrote, "Some general knowledge for beginners."

For the unversed,  Subhas Chandra Bose passed away on August 18, 1945. In 1951, Jawaharlal Nehru was appointed as India's first prime minister and remained in that post until 1964.
