Kangana, while talking to an entertainment portal, had lashed out at Shabana Azmi and called her an anti-national. The ‘Queen’ actress also questioned her over why she was part of an event in Pakistan when the Pakistani artists have been banned in India.
‘Pakistan ban is not the focus, Pakistan destruction is’- Kangana Ranaut
‘’ People like Shabana Azmi calling for halt on cultural exchange, they are the ones who promote Bharat tere Tukade honge gangs…. why did they organize an event in Karachi in the first place when Pakistani artists have been banned after Uri attacks and now they are trying to save face,’’ Kangana had told Pinkvilla.
Shabana has now responded to the comment made by Kangana.
“You really think at a time like this a personal attack on me can be of any significance when the entire country stands as one in our grief and in condemning this dastardly Pulwama attack? May God bless her,” the ‘Neerja’ actress told In.com.
