‘Huh? Is this real’: Hrithik Roshan reacts to BJP MP’s Vande Mataram dare to Rahul Gandhi

‘Huh? Is this real’: Hrithik Roshan reacts to BJP MP’s Vande Mataram dare to Rahul Gandhi

Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan expressed his surprise upon seeing BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj's recent remarks linking Rahul Gandhi's call to "smash the patriarchy" with singing the full version of the national song, Vande Mataram. Swaraj had initially challenged Gandhi to sing the complete national song in response to his comments on patriarchy during a BJP press conference in August.

The controversial statement resurfaced recently after Congress leader Ruchira Chaturvedi shared the video on Instagram. Hrithik commented, "Huh? Is this real. Wow," in response to Chaturvedi's post. Swaraj's remark came in response to Gandhi's challenge against patriarchy at an event in August, where he questioned her position on women's empowerment and encouraged her to sing Vande Mataram in its entirety if she genuinely wanted to smash patriarchy. In addition to this, Swaraj had also raised other issues related to women's rights and legislation.
