"When I Last Checked India Was A Secular Democratic Republic," Sahbana Azmi Replies To Kangana Ranaut On The Hijab Controversy

The Karnataka Hijab row is taking the social media by storm nowadays. Then how can Bollywood stay behind in that matter? Moreover, just think of the first name that comes to your mind when it comes to commenting on national events and controversies. If it's not Kangana Ranaut, then you better keep yourself updated with her social media because whatever the matter is, this woman always has her own fearless and straightforward views.
