Kangana Ranaut Denies Liking Viral Post, Critiques Fellow Actress Amid Protest DebatePreviousNext

Kangana Ranaut denied liking a viral social media post that body-shamed an unnamed actress, which many believe targeted Sonakshi Sinha over her stance on student protests. While rejecting the 'like' claim as fake, Kangana posted a cryptic message criticizing a fellow actress's dressing style and public behavior, suggesting changes linked to personal relationships. Sonakshi Sinha has publicly supported student protests, contrasting with Kangana's criticism of demonstrators. The controversy sparked widespread online speculation without direct naming.
