Renowned actress, filmmaker, and politician serving as a Member of Parliament, Kangana Ranaut, has received a major setback from the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The court has refused to cancel a defamation case filed against her in 2021 by Mahinder Kaur from Bathinda. For those who may not know, Kangana had shared a photo of an elderly woman during the farmers’ protest, saying that such women were paid to join the protest.
Moreover, due to the statement given by Kangana Ranaut, legal complaints were filed against her in many places, like in the courts of Bulandshahr and Agra, farmers had accused Kangana Ranaut of insulting women. In response, Mahinder Kaur filed a defamation case against her, which Kangana later challenged in the High Court. However, the court has now dismissed her petition, allowing the case to proceed.
What is the matter?
During the farmers’ movement, Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) wrote a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) sharing two pictures featuring two elderly women. The tweet reads, “Ha ha ha she is the same dadi who featured in Time magazine for being the most powerful Indian…. And she is available in 100 rupees. Pakistani jurno’s have hijacked international PR for Indian in an embarrassing way. We need our own people to speak for us internationally.”
