Actor Kangana Ranaut, who is known to make headlines with controversial comments, engaged in a Twitter spat with actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh on Thursday over her comments mentioning Bilkis Bano, the Shaheen Bagh dadi.
It all started with the 33-year-old actor tweeting an image a few days back (since deleted), wrongly identifying an elderly Sikh woman as Bilkis Bano of the Shaheen Bagh’s anti-CAA protest. This drew criticism from Dosanj, who shared a video tagging Kangana, pointing out that the woman was actually Mahinder Kaur.
Not the one to let go, the Queen actor who responded immediately calling the Punjabi singer ‘Karan Johar ka Paltu’ and accused him of indulging in ‘drama’
“Ooo Karan johar ke paltu, jo dadi Saheen Baag mein apni citizenship keliye protest kar rahi thi wohi Bilkis Bano dadi ji Farmers ke MSP ke liye bhi protest karti hue dikhi. Mahinder Kaur ji ko toh main janti bhi nahin. Kya drama chalaya hai tum logon ne? Stop this right now.” she wrote on twitter
Diljit gave it right back accusing her of misleading people.
“Tuneh Jitne Logon Ke Saath Film Ki Tu Un Sab Ki Paaltu Hai…?Fer To List Lambi Ho Jaegi Maalko Ki..? Eh Bollywood Wale Ni PUNJAB Wale aa .. Hikk Te Vajj Sadey. Jhooth bol kar logo ko badhkana aur emotions se khailna woh toh aap achey se janti ho.” he tweeted.
Kangana Ranaut responded here’s how the conversation went on.
Dosanj shared another tweet saying that he doesn’t ask Bollywood for work and said that her aggression won’t work in Punjab. He asked her to address the issue at hand and apologize for the nasty remarks she made about Mahinder Kaur, calling her ‘Bad Dimag Batmeez’ (ill-tempered and ill-mannered)
Responding to his tweet Kangana replied by writing, “Oye dumbo baat wahi hai jab kisi ki citizenship gayi he nahin toh Saheen Baag dadi ne kiske kehne pe protests kiye? Jab MSP hataya he nahin toh phir wahi dadi kiske bhejne pe Farmers protests mein hissa le rahi hai? Kaun usko peeche se prompt karta hai when she speaks ?”
Kangana in another tweet gave clarification on her statements against Bilkis Bano and wrote, “I had only commented on Shaheen Baag dadi cos they instigated riots there even that tweet was deleted almost immediately, I don’t know from where they brought another elderly lady into the picture and now endlessly spreading lies.Vultures trying to instigate mob against a woman.”
Diljit has been supporting the farmers in their protest and often takes to social media to share his views and opinions on the same. Taking to Twitter, the ‘Good Newwz’ actor posted black and white of old farmers asking, “Do they look like terrorist?” He asked the national media to think before they labelling them as terrorist.
