The ongoing farmer protest in the country is the hot topic now. During this the photo of women marching for farmers’ cause went viral. Film actress Kangana Ranaut made a distasteful remark about it. Kangana in her tweet, which she later deleted, compared photo of an old female farmer with a photo of Bilkis Bano, the Shaheen Bagh ‘dadi’ who was recently featured on Time Magazine’s List of 100 Most Influential People in 2020. The actress tweeted that ‘dadi’ was hired as a protestor for ₹100.
However, the photos were of different women. The old farmer is Mahinder Kaur.
Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh, shared Mahinder Kaur’s video on Twitter and slammed actor Kangana Ranaut. Diljit has also been quite vocal in his support for the farmers.
Kangana replied to this by calling Diljit ‘Karan Johar ka paltu’, among other things, and soon the duo were involved in a war of words on Twitter.
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. https://t.co/RkXRVKfXV1
Kangana is so talented that she can bring Karan’s name into every conversation. Diljit was talking on the topic of farmers protest but she brought Karan’s name into it because she know this way she can get support from her anti-nepotism warriors.#DiljitDosanjh
I just want to say that I have been a huge Diljit fan even before his Twitter battles. Not only is he a fabulous singer, dancer, and actor, man’s got heart too. True star!
