Actress turned BJP leader Kangana Ranaut is going viral on social media for her slip of tongue from a media interview and being incorrect on facts related to the nation. In a conversation with The Lallantop news media's Founding Editor Saurabh Dwivedi, she referred to former Indian president Ram Nath Kovind as 'Ram Covid' and also called Dalit people as 'galit.'
She soon corrected herself during the interview, however, the footage where she went wrong is going viral on the internet and drawing a flood of meme reactions.
Kangana Ranaut has been giving media interviews ahead of her September 6 movie - Emergency release. The film will see the Mandi MP as former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi. The cast of the film also features Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Mahima Chaudhry, Milind Soman and Satish Kaushik in pivotal roles.

In the video, when Ranaut was asked whether injustice and assaults are reported more in cases of those belonging to the minority and backward classes, she referred to examples of change and mentioned about the Dalit presidents of India.
"Why don't we see examples," she said while mentioning about Droupadi Murmu and Ram Nath Kovind. However, she erred on her facts and stated that Kovind was the first dalit president of India. Soon, she was corrected by the editor that he was the second, with KR Narayanan being the first dalit to hold the prestigious position. It was noted that she even misaddressed Ram Nath Kovind and called him "Ram Covid" instead.
