Kangana Ranaut backs Deepika but questions signature drive of Shabana Azmi

According to media reports, the award national winning actress pointed the left wing vs right wing political clash pitched by veteran actress Shabana Azmi in the name of Padmavati and Deepika Padukone. Kangana also recalled the faceoff between her and actor Hrithik Roshan where Shabana had slammed Kangana for tarnishing the image of Hrithik Roshan. The actress also pointed the selective outrage adopted by industry veterans.

Annoyed with the protest against Sanjay Lila Bansali’s Padmavati, actress Shabana Azmi floated one signature camping urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action on the threats made to Deepika Padukone. Many celebrities and film personalities responded positively but reportedly Kangana Ranaut had turned down the signature drama.

Kangana said, I am on the fence about many things and being a part of a feminist movement called ‘Deepika bachao’ lead by someone who character assassinated me when I was bullied, seems to be one of them,”

Here is the complete write-up

"I was filming Manikarnika in Jodhpur, got a call from my dear friend Anushka Sharma to sign the petition written by Ms Shabana Azmi, I explained to Anushka that Deepika Padukone has all my support but I am a bit wary of Shabana Azmi's investment in left wing vs right wing politics. I have my own set of ideas and opinions about the current situation in our country, I am on the fence about many things and being a part of a feminist movement called 'Deepika bachao' lead by someone who character assassinated me when I was bullied, seems to be one of them. Anushka understood but I am glad they reached out to me, like I said Deepika has all my support I am an individual perfectly capable of supporting who I like without anyone's support."
