Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut has sparked controversy and an online debate with her statement claiming that freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was the first Prime Minister of India, a position historically recognized as held by Jawaharlal Nehru after India's independence from British rule. The remark, which went viral, drew backlash from various quarters including Netaji's family, who condemned the attempt to distort historical facts and pit Bose against Nehru. In response to the criticism, Ranaut defended her statement with 'Don't mansplain' and 'Joke's on You', urging critics not to mansplain and asserting that the joke was on them. The controversy has also seen political figures weigh in, with Harish Rawat of Congress criticizing Ranaut and @ShainaNC defending her by stating the Congress party is anti-woman.
