Momina Mustehsan slams Kangana Ranaut for propagating 'regional hatred'

The Bollywood actor recently called Pakistanis 'pimps', alleging they spread 'religious hatred'


Entertainment Desk August 14, 2020

Popular actor Kangana Ranaut has been quite veracious in her attempt to curb nepotism in Bollywood lately. But the star has also raised some questionable concerns without providing any justification, reason why many from her own fraternity have disregarded her statements.

However, in her latest response to a film critic who calls out Alia Bhatt’s dialogue in Sadak 2 over allegedly propagating a stereotype, Ranaut drags Pakistan into the matter, following which Pakistani singer Momina Mustehsan schools her.

An Indian film critic namely Rohitt Jaiswal in his latest tweet says, “In trailer (of Sadak 2) Alia Bhatt says In Guruo ke vajah se maine kisi apne ko khoya hai (Because of these Gurus, I have lost someone close to me). Just for once remove the word ‘Guru’ and replace it with ‘Maulvi’ or ‘Padri’. Can you do that Mr Bhatt? No discussions just replace it and re-launch the trailer. Not asking for much.”

Although in her dialogue, Bhatt clearly says, ‘Fake Guruon’, it seems the user would rather attach that stereotype with clerics from other religions – something various users also pointed out in his thread. Nevertheless, it seems for Ranaut, the critic had pointed out something of dire importance.

Thus, in response she says, “Nice observation, can they replace ‘Guru’ with ‘Maulvi’ and Kailash scandal with Mecca scandal? Does Sadhus lynching have something to do with these prejudices?”

She then goes on to call Pakistanis ‘pimps’ and accuses them of propagating ‘religious hatred’ in India when the film in discussion is directed by Mahesh Bhatt. “Why Pankistani pimps are allowed to spread religious hatred and prejudices in Bharat? -KR #Sadak2 #sadak2trailer”

In response to her tweet, Mustehsan asks, “Why does Pakistan get dragged into all your arguments?” She then calls Ranaut out for using ‘regional hatred’ as a defense mechanism against ‘religious hatred’.

“It serves no purpose but takes away from your mission to rightly get justice for Sushant Singh Rajput, fight nepotism, your own internal state politics and curb religious hatred and prejudice. Justice cannot be served by propagating regional hatred,” concludes the Awari singer.
