Kangana Ranaut gave a warning to Bollywood, tweeting that people from the film industry should ‘enjoy their success’ and ‘stay away from politics’. The actor was vocal about Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan since the film was released on January 25.
Kangana’s warning
After Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan saw a massive opening at the box office and collected almost 250 crores on its 3rd day, actor Kangana Ranaut has been tweeting about the film. After saying Pathaan paints ‘enemy’ Pakistan in good light, and slamming those speaking about ‘triumph over hate’ after the film’s success, Kangana issued a warning to Bollywood.
On Saturday, Kangana Ranaut, who returned to Twitter recently, tweeted, “Bollywood walon yeh narrative banane ki koshish mat karna ki iss desh mein tum Hindu hate se suffer kar rahe ho, agar maine phir se yeh word suna ‘triumph over hate’ toh tum logon ki wahi class lagegi jo kal lagi thi (Bollywood people, do not try to project that you are suffering from Hindu hate in this country. If I hear another comment on ‘triumph over hate’, I will take your class). Enjoy your success and do good work, stay away from politics.”

How it all started
The ‘Queen’ actor’s statement came days after director Karan Johar and actor Alia Bhatt congratulated Shah Rukh Khan for the massive response to his film ‘Pathaan’.
On Thursday, Karan Johar shared a gratitude post for King Khan and wrote, “Hits beyond a century!!!! 100 crores and above in 1 day. GOAT MEGASTAR SRK VISIONARY AND LEGENDARY YRF AND ADI…SID ANAND DEEPIKA JOHN!! WOW. Love forever trumps Hate! Mark this date.”
Alia Bhatt on the other hand, Friday, shared an Instagram story in which she wrote, “Because LOVE always wins.”
In response to these Tweets in the thread of tweets, Kangana wrote, “All those who are claiming Pathaan is a triumph of love over hate, I agree but whose love over whose hate? Let’s be precise, who is buying tickets and making it a success? Yes it is India’s love and inclusiveness where eighty percent of Hindus lives and yet a film called Pathaan which shows our enemy nation Pakistan and ISI in good light is running successfully, it is this spirit of India beyond hate and judgments that make it Mahan… it is the love of India that has triumphed hate and petty politics of enemies… Lekin all those who are having high hopes please note… Pathaan sirf ek film ho sakti hai… goonjega toh yahan sirf Jai Shri Ram… Jai Shri Ram.”
All those who are claiming Pathan is triumph of love over hate,I agree but whose love over whose hate? Let’s be precise, whose is buying tickets and making it a success?Yes it is India’s love and inclusiveness where eighty percent Hindus lives and yet a film called Pathan (cont)
