The Queen actress has been in the firing line with for her controversial comments with legal cases mounting on the actress. Recently, she was involved in a Twitter spat with Diljit Dosanjh. It started with him referring to a tweet posted by her in which she wrongly identified an old woman at the ongoing farmers’ protest as Bilkis Bano, the face of the Shaheen Bagh protest. After claiming that Bilkis was ‘available (for hire) in 100 rupees’, Kangana deleted the erroneous tweet. However, Diljit said that one should not spread misinformation and that she ‘keeps on saying anything’. The fight escalated when Kangana called Diljit ‘Karan Johar ke paltu (Karan Johar’s pet)’ and he hit back at her by questioning whether everyone she has worked with owns her. The comment did not go down well with many slamming the actress for her comments. Later, Kangana issued a statement on Twitter saying that she is ‘with farmers’ and claiming that the controversial farm bills will ‘transform (their) lives for better’. She also urged them to not let any separatist groups ‘hijack’ their protests. Kangana has been quite vocal about her opinions on various matters, including Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, without mincing her words.
