Pakistani actress Mansha Pasha called out Bollywood’s Kangana Ranaut for cashing in on both progressive and alt-right values both. Of course, this turned into a full-blown verbal spat.
It all started when the Laal Kabotaar actress tweeted about how Kangana was calling out privilege and nepotism at first, until she made it big. She was now actually supporting it.
“She then used progressive values to gain traction and then support a government that stifles all voices of dissent and calls everything that goes against its policy to be ‘corrupt, anti state‘ and anyone who disagrees to be too rich or too privileged or too corrupt and cant be a voice for the people.”
goes against its policy to be "corrupt, anti state" and anyone who disagrees to be too rich or too privileged or too corrupt and cant be a voice for the people.

Basically, Mansha outlined that Kangana Ranaut was just faking it till she made it. She jumped the progressive bandwagon and offered lip-service until she was popular enough to support what she really wanted.
The Bhartiya Janata Party’s (BJP) politics in India are no secret. It’s based on Hindutva supremacy and pegs its Hindu majority populace against the country’s minorities. The country’s secularism is buried amid all the ethnopolitics.
The thing is many actors don’t believe the politics they support, they’re just paid to do so. In an expose published last year, BJP was paying Bollywood stars to support them. Even item-girl Rakhi Sawant came forth that she had been paid for support during various campaign seasons.
Actors like Kangana Ranaut and Anupam Kher on the other hand really seem overtly devoted to BJP politics.

Mansha Pasha gets attacked
Of course, it wasn’t too long before the Zindagi Gulzar Hai actress got attacked for her views.
Kangana Ranaut’s sister-manager Rangoli Chandel offered ‘hateful respect’ to the Pakistani actress because;
“Two enemy country citizens must talk like this only respect for Ms Pasha,”

Rangoli also believes that critique from a Pakistani is validation that you’re 100% nationalist or a true ‘desh bhakt‘. Mansha Pasha just called this another attempt to jump a bandwagon and cash in on the hate.
