Kangana Ranaut is a “fighter and will definitely fight back”, BJP MP and fellow actor Hema Malini said on Tuesday amid a row over Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate’s social media post against the “Queen” star who is contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Mandi.
Describing Ranaut as a bold and outspoken woman, the two-time Mathura MP said she is “perfect for politics”.
The BJP had on Sunday announced Ranaut’s candidature from Mandi in her home state of Himachal Pradesh. Several BJP leaders came out in support of Ranaut after derogatory comments about the actor and Mandi were posted on social media handles of Congress leaders Shrinate and H S Ahir.
“Making such comments against a woman when you yourself are one is wrong,” Hema Malini told PTI in an exclusive interview here.
In her defence, Shrinate on Monday said that many people have access to her Facebook and Instagram accounts and one of them made the inappropriate post. She also said she had deleted the post and would take action against a parody account that is using her name.
