Even when Diljit Dosanjh confronted Kangana Ranaut after she mistakenly identified an elderly protester as ‘Shaheen Bagh dadi’ Bilkis Bano and claimed that she can be hired for ‘100 rupees’, Twitter claimed that it took a Punjabi star to take a position while Bollywood preferred to remain silent during these last turbulent months. Actors such as Taapsee Pannu and Swara Bhaskar have reacted to the accusation.
“Tragic state of Bollywood, even after so much abuse and slander, they kept silent about Kangana. Finally, a Punjabi singer / actor had to deal with the manhole; reveals how empty, powerless and supine Bollywood has become. Not being able to defend the nation or herself. Not being able to defend the nation, or himself, ”wrote one person on Twitter, pointing to Kangana’s combative tweets over the months at the expense of top Bollywood personalities.
He also retweeted another comment, “#KangnaRanaut has been insulting and confusing the Hindi film industry for months. He has taken names of directors of producers of the main stars and has called them junkies, abusers and so on. No one spoke @diljitdosanjh has taken this bully by the horns. BRAVO SHER-PUTAR “.
Actors Swara Bhasker and Taapsee Pannu, who had been embroiled in an intermittent feud with Kangana after she attacked them during an interview, responded to the charge. “Not everyone was silent,” Swara wrote while tagging Taapsee Pannu and Richa Chaddha.
Taapsee, in turn, wrote: “That has always been the problem here. Hum kuch mayeno mein “outsiders” hi rahenge na 🙂 #AProudOutsider. “Swara and Taapsee were among those in Bollywood who rallied in support of Diljit when the exchange between him and Kangana turned virulent. Kangana, misidentified a farmer from Punjab as Bilkis Bano, the octogenarian who made international headlines during the anti-CAA protests earlier this year in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh neighborhood. She shared a tweet claiming that the ‘Shaheen Bagh dadi’ also joined the agitation of farmers over the new agricultural laws at various border points in the national capital.

She retweeted the post with photos of two older women, including Bilkis Bano, and wrote that the “same Dadi” who appeared in Time magazine was “available for 100 rupees.” Diljit shared a BBC interview of the woman Kangana had misidentified as Mahinder Kaur.
Listen to this with proof, Kangana. One should not be so blind … You are saying almost anything, “wrote the actor in Punjabi, a tweet that led to the opening of the floodgates.
