Kangana Ranaut lashed out at Rihanna, who condemned the internet shutdown against farmers.
New Delhi:
On Tuesday, actor Kangana Ranaut held back little as he confronted international pop star Rihanna for voicing her support for farmers protesting on the outskirts of Delhi since November against the center’s farm laws.
Calling the protesters “terrorists”, Ms Ranaut, who has 3 million followers on Twitter versus Rihanna’s more than 100 million, said they were trying to divide India and called the singer “dumb”.
No one is talking about it because they are not farmers, they are terrorists who are trying to divide India, so that China can take over our vulnerable broken nation and turn it into a Chinese colony like the US.
Sit down, fool, we are not selling our nation like you fools. https://t.co/OIAD5Pa61a– Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) February 2, 2021
The actress was also enraged by a Twitter user who took out an old tweet of hers, apparently expressing appreciation for a Rihanna song.
Hey tattu I took over my account in August last year before it was a team fan page, mujhe na pop music samajh aata hai nahi main English gaane zyaada sunti hoon. Soya aab ho gaya tera …

Kangana Ranaut, a fervent supporter of the ruling BJP, who has made no secret of her great dislike for the farmers’ protest that has challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has frequently criticized the protesters.
the Queen Star, who has faced a brief suspension on Twitter in the past for calling for the beheading of the producers of a television show that he deemed offensive to Hindus, has taken it upon himself to label the farmers’ movement as wrong, motivated and against national interests.
In December, he had a multi-day feud with Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh over farmers’ protest, sparked by new laws that they say will leave them at the mercy of large corporations and overturn safeguards against scams. .
Ms. Ranaut also faced widespread criticism for misidentifying a protester at the farmers’ protest as Bilkis Bano, known as one of the “Shaheen Bagh dadis” and for claiming that he had joined the protest for 100 rupees.
Rihanna, who also tweeted about the coup in Myanmar on Tuesday, condemned the internet shutdown aimed at paralyzing the farmers’ movement.
Internet services in the Delhi border areas of Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri, epicenters of farmers’ protest for months against the center’s farm laws, were suspended on Saturday and the shutdown has been extended twice to be in effect until at least 5pm on Wednesday. .
The Home Office order came over the weekend, days after sections of a Delhi tractor parade by farmers on Republic Day deviated from agreed routes, sparking clashes with police that left dozens of injured and one protester killed.
