Kangana Ranaut calls for punishment for third child as COVID-19 deaths mount

Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut on Tuesday called for strict laws to control the population in India. She said that during the COVID crisis, “vote politics” should be kept aside and people should be punished for conceiving a third child. “Looking at crisis today at least there should be fine or imprisonment for a third child,” Kangana tweeted.

A section of people soon started criticising her, including comedian Saloni Gaur. Posting an image on the microblogging site, Saloni pointed out that Kangana herself has two siblings- elder sister Rangoli Chandel and younger brother Aksht Ranaut. 

The ‘Thalaivi’ actor then commented on Saloni’s post and called her a “dumb fool”.

“No wonder your comedy is a joke on you,my great grandpa had 8 siblings in those days many children used to die, in jungles there were more animals hardly any humans, we must change with changing times, need of the hour is population control like China we should have strong rules,” Kangana wrote.

“If you could understand complex topics like these you would do something worth while with your life not mock people their vulnerabilities their hard-earned success to feed yourself, you clearly don’t know any better, little annoying dumb fool …,” she added.

“People are dying because of overpopulation 130 crore Indians on paper but add more 25 crores illegal immigrants a third world country but got a great leadership which is leading the world in vaccination drive and fight against corona. But we also need to take responsibility,” the actor said.
