Kangana Ranut Calls Shabana Azmi Anti-National

Darpan News Desk IANS, 17 Feb, 2019 02:03 AM

    Bollywood actor Kangana Ranut doesn’t hide her feelings. Recently, Kangana accused veteran actress Shabana Azmi of being “anti-national” for accepting an invitation for a literary event in Pakistan.


    Shabana and her husband, writer Javed Akhtar were supposed to attend a literary event on her father Kaifi Azmi in Karachi, but decided not to go as a sign of protest after the Pulwama attack.


    The public was happy with this decision, but the ‘Rani of Jhansi’ wasn’t so impressed.


    Kangana said: "People like Shabana Azmi calling for halt on cultural exchange - they are the ones who promote Bharat Tere Tukde Honge gangs... why did they organise an event in Karachi in the first place when Pakistani artistes have been banned after Uri attacks? And now they are trying to save face?"


    "The film industry is full of such anti-nationals who boost enemies' morals in many ways, but right now is the time to focus on decisive actions... Pakistan ban is not the focus, Pakistan destruction is," Kangana told an entertainment website.


    The website quoted the veteran actress as saying in response: "You really think at a time like this a personal attack on me can be of any significance when the entire country stands as one in our grief and in condemning this dastardly Pulwama attack? May God bless her".


    At least 40 CRPF troopers were killed in a deadly suicide attack in Pulwama on Thursday. The attack is considered one of the most brutal attacks on security forces in recent memory.
