Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan has reacted with surprise to BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj’s challenge to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over Vande Mataram. The actor commented, “Huh? Is this real. Wow,” on an Instagram post shared by Congress social media leader Ruchira Chaturvedi. In August, Swaraj challenged Gandhi to sing the complete national song after he urged women to “smash the patriarchy” at an event in Pune. Swaraj questioned the connection between Gandhi’s remarks and the song. She also referred to the Congress Working Committee’s 1937 decision to sing only the first two stanzas at national gatherings.
