As everyone knows, there is a controversy about the “Hijab” which is going on in the country. Several celebrities have considered the debate to wear Islamic head covering to schools and colleges. The next day after ‘Veteran actress’ and BJP MP ‘Hema Malini’ shred their views on the same, actress ‘Kangana Ranaut’ shared her take.
Kangana took this controversy to Twitter on Thursday, in which she shared a screenshot of the author ‘Anand Ranganathan’s ‘tweet, which read: “Iran. 1972 and now. From Bikini to Burqa in fifty years flat.
Furthermore, it was “Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” The “Thalaivii actresses also shared their opinion in the post. “If you want to show your courage, show it by not wearing burqua in Afghanistan… Learn to break free, not cage yourself,” she wrote with an attachment of the screenshot.
Her post has left the audience of Twitter dissatisfied. The Instagram story also took the attention of veteran actress Shabana Azmi. Sharing a screenshot of Kangana’s post, Shabana wrote on the micro-blogging site: “Correct me if I am wrong, but Afghanistan is a theocratic state, and when I last checked, India was a temporal democratic republic?!!”
At the same time, one Twitter user wrote, “When people are happy being in hijab, so what’s the point to argue for the one who is herself banned on Twitter? Or is it another statement for being a part of controversy and attention?”
Another user replied to Shabana’s tweet by writing, “Please, ma’am, don’t give her any attention. She flourishes for it; she being away from Twitter is the best thing.”
Incidentally, Kangana and Shabana Azmi’s husband, noted lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar, are involved in a legal tussle. Akhtar had filed a defamation lawsuit against the actress in 2020.
