Kangana Ranaut Warns Bollywood To Stay Away From Politics After 'Pathaan' Success
Interestingly, Kangana Ranaut's statement comes days soon after filmmaker-producer Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt gave a shout out to the film and the success.
New Delhi: As Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone starrer continues to smash box office records and many Bollywood celebrities celebrating its success, actor Kangana Ranaut has spoken about the film.Taking to her official Twitter handle, Kangana wrote, "Bollywood walon yeh narrative banane ki koshish mat karna ki iss desh mein tum Hindu hate se suffer kar rahe ho, agar maine phir se yeh word suna ‘triumph over hate’ toh tum logon ki wahi class lagegi jo kal lagi thi ( People in Bollywood have created a narrative about suffering from Hindu hate in this country. If I hear another comment on 'triumph over hate', I will take your class)"
Interestingly, the actor's statement comes days soon after filmmaker-producer Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt gave a shout out to the film and the success. 'Pathaan' has created history with its opening day collections at the domestic box office. It has also set new records for Bollywood and especially Shah Rukh Khan who has returned to the theatres with a full-fledged feature film after four years.
While Karan Johar has written about 'love forever trumps hate' and Alia's comment ' love always wins', Kangana's remark looks like an indirect take on them.
'Pathaan' meanwhile collected Rs. 106 crores worldwide on its opening day.
On Saturday, Kangana Ranaut returned to Twitter after her account was banned in 2020 for violating the social media platform's rule. Soon after Kangana shared this tweet, many lashed at her for tweeting at such an opportune time for personal gain while a section of fans also supported her.
A tweet read, "Chalo Pathaan ko side mein karte hai (let's put Pathaan aside for a moment)... another example of ‘triumph over hate’ is how your last nine movies tanked one after another. Audience has rejected Kangana, we know you are desperate now to be where Smriti Irani (BJP leader and union minister) is." A user wrote, "Madam ji, aap kaha se ho?? Bollywood se nahi ho?? Alag koi industry se aye ho kya (Are you not from Bollywood)??"
Kangana had earlier reacted to a user who had pointed out that her film 'Dhaakad' was a box office failure. Responding to the comment, Kangana said on Friday, "Yes, Dhakad was a historic flop, when did I deny this? This is SRK ji's first successful film in ten years, we also take inspiration from him, I hope we will also get a similar chance that India gave him. After all this India is great, it is generous, Jai Shri Ram.”
In the thread of tweets, Kangana wrote, “All those who are claiming Pathaan is triumph of love over hate, I agree but whose love over whose hate? Let’s be precise, whose is buying tickets and making it a success? Yes it is India’s love and inclusiveness where eighty percent Hindus lives and yet a film called Pathaan which shows our enemy nation Pakistan and ISIS in good light is running successfully, it is this spirit of India beyond hate and judgements that makes it Mahan… it is the love of India that has triumphed hate and petty politics of enemies… Lekin all those who are having high hopes please note… Pathaan sirf ek film ho sakti hai… goonjega toh yahan sirf Jai Shri Ram… Jai Shri Ram.”
