Vikram Gokhale defends Kangana Ranaut's 'bheek' remark

Veteran actor Vikram Gokhale backed Kangana Ranaut's 'bheek' remark in a recent interaction. He said that many leaders were mute spectators when freedom fighters were hanged.

Veteran Marathi actor Vikram Gokhale on Sunday supported Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut's controversial remarks wherein she had said that what India achieved in 1947 was "bheek" (alms) but the country got the real freedom only in 2014 when Narendra Modi became the prime minister.

Speaking at a function in Maharashtra, Gokhale said what Ranaut had said was true.
