A controversial photo of Kangana Ranaut was uploaded on Congresswoman Supriya Shrinate’s Instagram account, sparking a furore. In response, Kangana Ranaut said that individuals should “refrain from using sex workers’ challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur.” This was a jab at the Congress leader.
The post featured a picture of Kangana Ranaut in skimpy attire along with a disparaging message, and it was published just one day after the BJP nominated her from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh.
The social media post, which has since been removed, according to Supriya Shrinate, was created by someone who had access to her Instagram and Facebook accounts. She also placed the responsibility on X for the misuse of her name by a parody account.
“Someone who had access to my meta accounts ( FB and Insta) posted an absolutely disgusting and objectionable post, which has been taken down. Anyone who knows me will know I would never say that for a woman. However, a parody account that I have just discovered misusing my name is being run on Twitter ( @Supriyaparody ) which started the whole mischief, and is being reported,” Supriya Shrinate said.
Meanwhile, the post drew a sharp response from the BJP and Kangana Ranaut.
Ranaut shared her response on X and said that “every woman deserves her dignity”
“Dear Supriya ji, In the last 20 years of my career as an artist I have played all kinds of women. From a naive girl in Queen to a seductive spy in Dhaakad, from a goddess in Manikarnika to a demon in Chandramukhi, from a prostitute in Rajjo to a revolutionary leader in Thalaivii,” Ranaut said.
“We must free our daughters from the shackles of prejudices, we must rise above the curiosity about their body parts and above all we must refrain from using sex workers challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur… every woman deserves her dignity…,” she added.
BJP leader Amit Malviya urged Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to sack Supriya Shrinate.
“Congress’s Supriya Shrinate makes an obnoxious comment on Kangana Ranaut in an Insta post. It is so disgusting that one can’t help, but ask – how does Congress collect so much filth in one place? If Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge has any say in the party, he must sack her immediately or else resign,” Malviya said.
