Kangana Ranaut, on Wednesday, dug out actor-comedian Vir Das’ old tweet and called him a ‘creepy Indian man’. This comes as the ‘Go Goa Gone’ actor’s ‘I come from two Indias’ monologue, a satire on the polarity in the country, went viral, creating controversy. 

In the six-minute video shot at the John F Kennedy Centre in Washington DC, Vir Das was seen presenting the contrasting faces of India and commenting on several controversial topics including farmer protests, leadership and pollution.

“I come from an India that has the largest working population under 30 on the planet but still listens to 75-year-old leaders with 150-year-old ideas,” an excerpt of the monologue reads. 

Kangana Ranaut had described the video as ‘soft terrorism’. She, on Wednesday, shared some screenshots of his tweets on her Instagram Stories. 

Sharing the screenshot, the ‘Queen’ actor wrote, “Example of creepy Indian man, who is good for nothing so he sells his sleaze for a living to equally creepy and sexist-racist audience.”

Earlier, she slammed Vir for the video. He was also seen saying that Indian men worship women during the day and gang-rape them at night. Kangana demanded that action be taken against him.

“When you generalise all Indian men as gang-rapists it gives rise and encouragement to racism and bullying against Indians all over the world… after Bengal Famine Churchill famously said, ‘These Indians breed like rabbits they are bound to die like this…’ he blamed Indians’ sex drive/fertility for the death of millions because of hunger… Such creative work targeting an entire race is soft terrorism… strict actions must be taken against such criminals @virdas,” she wrote. 

Vir Das, after receiving flak for his video, released a statement. 

 “There has been a sizeable reaction to a video I posted on YouTube. The video is a satire about the duality of two very separate India’s that do different things. Like any nation has light and dark, good and evil within it. None of this is a secret,” he explained.
