‘Pakistan ke prem mein mare rahte hain’: Kangana Ranaut defends calling Naseeruddin Shah ‘lomdi’
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Star and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut of late took a sharp jibe at veteran star Naseeruddin Shah over his comments on student protests, referring to him as a “lomdi” (fox). Now, Kangana has defended her remark and hit out at the star over what she described as his “love for Pakistan”, while also accusing the movie industry of “hypocrisy”.
Adding to this, BJP MP Kangana Ranaut calls out movie industry's hypocrisy. (PTI Photo/Shahbaz Khan)(PTI07_21_2026_000081B) (PTI) Kangana Ranaut defends calling Naseeruddin Shah ‘lomdi’ In a conversation with ANI, Kangana criticised what she described as the movie industry’s “consistent attitude”, recalling the unrest surrounding protests at Jantar Mantar. She claimed that during the protests, several of her parliamentarian friends had people climbing onto their cars and breaking their windows, while around 2,500 people had gathered outside her home, prompting a heavy police presence that kept her family awake at night.
Meanwhile, She added, “So when a situation like this was unfolding at Jantar Mantar, they were all shedding crocodile tears. 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, She then defended her “lomdi” remark about Naseeruddin Shah, saying, “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? He is always obsessed with his love for Pakistan. So many years have passed since Partition, so why hasn’t this love story ended yet?).”
As per the latest buzz, Last week, taking to her Instagram Stories, Kangana reposted a comment by star Piyush Mishra on Naseeruddin’s remarks, in which he questioned the veteran star’s silence on the student protests in Jharkhand. She added a separate note that read, “Sach toh ye hai ki har koi kisi na kisi ka kutta hai lekin mujhe iss baat ka garv hai ki main jiss ghar (desh) ki roti khati hoon uski rakhwaali karti hoon, uske liye ladti hoon. Naseer saab khate toh iss desh ke hain lekin ladte padosi desh ke liye hai (The truth is that each and everyone of us is someone’s pet. I am proud that I protect and defend the same house from where I get my food. But Naseer saab eats from this land and defends the neighbouring country).”
In further updates, She added, “PS: In today’s time it is a compliment to be called a dog because loyalty and cuteness is so rare. I would rather be a dog than a lomdi (fox) like Naseeruddin.”
