A social media discussion had started after Indian actress and politician Kangana Ranaut responded to a viral post that claimed she had reacted to comments targeting another actress. The Queen actress had denied liking the post and had clarified her position through an Instagram story.
The controversy had begun after a screenshot from Instagram had circulated online. The post had criticised an unnamed actress over her alleged response to different public protests. After the screenshot gained attention, Kangana had said that the claim about her liking the post was false.
Kangana had shared a clarification on her Instagram story and wrote, “There are many fake news that are doing rounds, this like of mine is also fake.”
In the same post, she had mentioned that she did not support body shaming anyone. However, she had also commented on the dressing style and public statements of an unnamed actress, which had led to discussions among social media users.
Kangana had written, “I never body shame anyone but I have noticed an actress who dresses and speaks like a pocket maar these days…”
The Emergency actress had not mentioned any name in her statement. Following the post, several social media users had speculated that her comments were directed towards Sonakshi Sinha, but no confirmation had been shared by either actress.
The discussion had continued online as users shared different reactions to Kangana’s statement and the viral screenshot. The original claim about the Instagram like had remained disputed after Kangana’s clarification.
Sonakshi Sinha had not released any statement regarding the viral post or Kangana’s Instagram story.
