Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram story and shared a screenshot of one of her previous interview, where she had suggested that India should be called Bharat. "And some call it black magic . It's simply Grey matter honey ? Congratulations to everyone!! Freed from a slave name Jai Bharat," she wrote in the tweet alongside the screenshot.
In a long note, Kangana expressed her thoughts about the name change and wrote, "What is there to love in this name? First of all they couldn't pronounce 'Sindhu' toh usko bigad ke ' Indus' kar diya. Phir kabhi Hindos kabhi Indos kuch bhi gol mol karke India bana diya. From the time of Mahabharata, all the kingdoms who participated in the Great War of Kurukshetra came under one continent called Bharat so why were they calling us Indu Sindu??"

She further added, "Also the name Bharat is so meaningful, what is the meaning of India ? I know they called Red Indians that because in olden English Indian simply meant a slave, they named us Indians because that was our new identity given to us by British. Even in olden days dictionary Indian's meaning was mentioned as slave they recently changed it. Also it's not our name we are Bhartiya not Indians."
Jackie Shroff too reacted to the name change and told ANI, "Earlier, our country was called Bharat right? My name is Jackie, some call me Jocky, and some call me Jaki. People change my name because of that I will not change. Just the name will change, we will not. You people keep changing the country's name, but don't forget that you are an Indian."
