Kangana Ranaut refuses to sign letter supporting Padmavati
Not only Kangana, but Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt have also refused to sign the letter.
MUMBAI (Daily Dunya) – Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has refused to sign a letter supporting Deepika Padukone for her controversial film Padmavati.
In a tit for tat action, Kangana said that she acknowledges the initiative, launched by veteran actress Shabana Azmi, but refused to sign it in retaliation for celebs’ silence over her and Hrithik Roshan controversy.
She explained, "I was filming Manikarnika in Jodhpur, got a call from my dear friend Anushka Sharma to sign the petition written by Ms Shabana Azmi, I explained to Anushka that Deepika Padukone has all my support but I am a bit wary of Shabana Azmi’s investment in left wing vs right wing politics. I have my own set of ideas and opinions about the current situation in our country, I am on the fence about many things and being a part of a feminist movement called ‘Deepika bachao’ lead by someone who character assassinated me when I was bullied, seems to be one of them. Anushka understood but I am glad they reached out to me, like I said Deepika has all my support I am an individual perfectly capable of supporting who I like without anyone’s support."
Not only Kangana, but Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt have also refused to sign the letter.
Reportedly, the actresses who have signed, and none of these names have been officially confirmed, include Jaya Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Vidya Balan and Konkona Sen Sharma, apart from Shabana Azmi and Anushka Sharma.
The letter has been forwarded to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking him to take action against the threats given to Deepika.
