Saif Ali Khan who is been enjoying the success of his recently-released film Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, has been trending on social media. The 49-year-old actor was recently on the receiving end of Twitter anger for his recent "concept of India" comment. The actor, in an interview with Anupama Chopra for Film Companion, was asked if it bothers him that the "politics in Tanhaji is questionable." Saif replied, "I don't think this is history. I don't think there was a concept of India till the British gave it one." This dismissal of nationhood enraged the Internet.
A Twitter user schooled Saif on India's history by sharing an ancient map of the country and wrote: "Read history before quoting it Mr," read an excerpt from the tweet.
