For the past few days, Kangana Ranaut has been tweeting about Shah Rukh Khan’s movie Pathaan. The movie starring Shah Rukh Khan shattered a number of box office records and became the first Hindi movie to reach the 200 crore club in just four days of release. In response to the movie’s box office performance, Kangana tweeted that the nation is prejudiced against “Khans and Muslim actresses.” She recently urged Bollywood to appreciate Pathaan’s success and refrain from interfering with it with politics.
Kangana Ranaut retweeted a piece on Saturday that examined why Pathaan became a box office success. Kangana Ranaut recently announced her return to Twitter after having her account blocked in 2020 for breaking the social media site’s rules. Kangana responded to the tweet by writing: “Very nice analysis… This nation has always cherished all Khans, and at times, only Khans… It is unjust to charge India with hatred and fascism because of their obsession with Muslim actresses. No other nation in the world compares to Bharat (the Indian flag emoji).
The initial tweet, to which the actor had responded, stated that there are no “boycott tendencies” that might harm Bollywood films; rather, they support them. Pathaan was a hit because both Hindus and Muslims like Shah Rukh equally. In response to Kangana’s most recent tweet, many individuals said that the star was blatantly trying to get attention by posting about Pathaan. “So you’re saying you’re not part of this country?,” one user tweeted. To be fair to you, all you did was insult the Khans without cause (and others as well), and you’ve always used the race card by decrying anything as “Hinduphobic.” Another tweet stated, “The problem you have is to look at everything through a jaundiced vision of Muslim and non-Muslim.
It’s pervasive and rots one’s very existence. When do you separate Indians into Muslims and Khans? You are fundamentally exhibiting HATE. Simply put, they are Indians. Why are they being labelled? “If you genuinely think like this Kangana, let’s change your name from Kangana to Kainaat (Urdu name, which means universe) for just one movie and let’s see if that movie pans out or not,” another user tweeted.
“It is the love of India that has prevailed over hate and petty politics of opponents,” Kangana had previously tweeted. Lekin (but) if you have great hopes, please take care… The movie “Pathan Sirf” is now playing. Jai Shri Ram, goonjega toh yahan sirf… Aum Shanti Ram (Pathaan is only a film, the country will only hear cries of Jai Shri Ram)
