What Kangana said

Kangana Ranaut questioned why Masaba Gupta did not let her wear her brand clothes for Ram Janmbhoomi event.

After many raised questions on the shocking example presented by Kangana, the actor herself added more comments via her X account. She wrote, “Designers get very excited whenever their brands get seen on celebrities, have you seen Masaba or her brand handles use these images ? These images were all over the Internet. Can you explain why won’t she use these images or why won’t the stylist tag her? Those days Tejas was about to release so I wanted to go for Ramjanm Bhumi darshan, I requested the same stylist who was styling me for Tejas events (they are hired by the production houses ) to help me with the darshan trip as well.”

‘When she was told it’s for Ram Janmbhoomi…’

For the unversed, Kangana had previously said in her Instagram Stories, “One instance I will never forget is when I was wearing Masaba Gupta saree for Ram Janmbhoomi, and she told the stylist that I can't go to Ram Janmbhoomi in her saree. I had already left from Lucknow for Ayodhya and it was not possible to change. I felt so humiliated and degraded that I quietly cried in my car. Later like other designers she told the stylist not to mention her or her brand's name. Today AR Rahman ji shedding crocodile tears what about their own hate and prejudices?”

On the work front, fans saw Kangana last in Emergency, in which the actor portrayed the role of late prime minister Indira Gandhi.
