Kangana Ranaut defends calling Naseeruddin Shah ‘lomdi’; says, “Whenever you look at his films, interviews or statements, it is always about Pakistan”
Here's the latest fashion moment turning heads:
Reiterating her position, Kangana as per reports told ANI, “I shared this about Naseeruddin Shah because he had made such a distasteful video in which he was making threats of this kind. And whenever you look at his films, interviews or statements, it is always about Pakistan. Yeh Pakistan ki prem katha kab khatam hogi? Jab dekho Pakistan ke prem mein yeh mare rahte hain. Ab Partition ko bhi itne saal ho gaye hain toh yeh love story khatam kyun nahi ho rahi hai (When will this love story with Pakistan end? They are always lost in love for Pakistan. It has been so many years since the Partition, when will they end this love story?)
Adding to this, The star turned politician also recalled the protests she experienced personally and claimed that demonstrators had gathered outside her residence. Describing the situation, she shared, “People even climbed up to the gate of my house; there were at least two and a half thousand people outside, and such a massive police force had to be deployed that we couldn't sleep at night.” She added, “So when a situation like this was unfolding at Jantar Mantar, they were all shedding crocodile tears.”
Meanwhile, Kangana further questioned Bollywood’s response to protests involving young people, drawing a comparison with the ongoing situation in Jharkhand. Taking aim at what she considers selective solidarity within the industry, she went on to say, “But now that children in Jharkhand are facing this kind of oppression, aren’t they Gen Z too? Is someone only considered Gen Z if they act against the country or abuse the Prime Minister? They themselves have been made to appear anti-youth. This hypocrisy in the movie industry will not work. The crocodile tears that people from the movie industry were shedding for Jantar Mantar, they should shed the same tears for the children in Jharkhand as well.”
Notably, Speaking about her earlier remark directed towards Naseeruddin Shah, Kangana had shared, “Sach toh yeh hai har koi kisi na kisi ka kutta hai, lekin mujhe iss baat ka garv hai ki main jis ghar (desh) ki roti khati hoon uski rakhwali karti hoon/uske liye ladti hoon, Nasir Saab khaate toh iss desh ka hain lekin ladte padose desh keliye hain. (The truth is, everyone is someone's dog; but I take pride in the fact that I guard--and fight for--the household (country) whose bread I eat. Nasir Saab, on the other hand, eats this country's bread but fights for the neighboring country).”
As per the latest buzz, She then addressed her use of the term “lomdi”, making it clear that she stood by the remark. Kangana shared, “PS In today's time it's a compliment for humans to be called a dog because loyalty and cuteness are so rare. I'd rather be a dog than a lomdi like Nasiruddin.”
In further updates, Kangana’s latest comments come as she continues to voice her opinions on political and social issues, while her remarks about Naseeruddin Shah remain part of the larger conversation around differing viewpoints within the Indian movie industry.
