The country's name should be changed from India to Bharat, Kangana said. She said the name Bharat name was derived from Sanskrit words, BH, Ra, and Ta, which means Bhav, Rag, and Tal respectively.

In her story, Kangana Ranaut shared a picture that reads: 'Your Sanksruti is your true identity. Never shy away from practicing it'.

While a section of netizens is supporting the bold actress over the new post, another section of netizens is slamming the Queen actress for sharing such a post to demand the change in the name of the country.

On the work front, Kangana Ranaut is awaiting the release of "Thalaivi", the autobiography of yesteryear superstar and former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu late Jayalalithaa. The actress has other projects like Tejas and Dhaakad in hand.
