Kangana claims to be 'misinterpreted'
Reacting to it, she claimed that she indeed was. She said, "I just put forth my point of view like way Saif did. But saying that I lashed out at him or I gave him an earful is just pure sensationalism," Kangana said.
For those unaware, Saif Ali Khan in an interview, referring to his super-hit film Tanhaji said, "I don’t think this is history. I don’t think re was a concept of India till British gave it one." He ded, "For some reason I didn’t take a stand. Maybe next time I would. I was very excited to play role because it’s a delicious role. But when people say this is history, I don’t think this is history. I am quite aware of what history was. I don’t think re was a concept of India till perhaps British gave it one. I don’t think re is really any constructive point in arguing about loudly, provided you yourself kw why you’re doing it."
