In a rather nasty spat, Bollywood actors Kangana Ranaut and Diljit Dosanjh hurled slurs at each other on Twitter. It all started when Dosanjh called out Ranaut for mistaking an elderly Sikh woman, who had joined the farmers' protest for Bilkis Bano of Shaheen Bagh fame.
He also shared a video of the elderly lady in question, revealing that she was Mahinder Kaur. Soon, Ranaut deleted her post but didn't refrain from hitting back, calling the Udta Punjab actor, Karan Johar's pet.
"Karan Johar's pet, the grandma who was protesting in Shaheen Bagh for her citizenship, the same grandma was seen protesting with the farmers. I don't even know who is Mahinder Kaur. What is this drama? Stop this right now," she tweeted.
Ooo Karan johar ke paltu, jo dadi Saheen Baag mein apni citizenship keliye protest kar rahi thi wohi Bilkis Bano dadi ji Farmers ke MSP ke liye bhi protest karti hue dikhi. Mahinder Kaur ji ko toh main janti bhi nahin. Kya drama chalaya hai tum logon ne? Stop this right now. https://t.co/RkXRVKfXV1

In another tweet, she posted, "Listen you vultures, do not consider my silence as my weakness. I see how you are instigating the innocent by lying to them and are using them. Just like Shaheen Bagh, the truth behind these protests will soon be out. Then I will write a brilliant speech and leave with your faces black." She signed off as 'Babbar sherni'.
I had only commented on Shaheen Baag dadi cos they instigated riots there even that tweet was deleted almost immediately, I don’t know from where they brought another elderly lady in to the picture and now endlessly spreading lies.Vultures trying to instigate mob against a woman. https://t.co/EI9xlXwaEu

Dosanjh responded by saying, "Are you the pet of all the people you have worked with? Then the list of your bosses must belong. This is not Bollywood but Punjab. Manipulating people by lying and playing with their emotions is something you know very well."
He also asserted that he is not from Bollywood but Punjab, and will not take her attack and give it back with more power. At one point, he even said: "Are you alright?"
The Queen star then responded, "You are a bootlicker, the one you try to please, I take them to task every day. I am Kangana Ranaut, not a bootlicker like you who would lie. I only spoke about the Shaheen Bagh protestor, if anyone can prove otherwise I will apologise."
"You have no manners as to how to speak to someone's mother or sister. You are a woman yourself and are calling another one that would work for Rs 100. Our mothers of Punjab are like God to us. You have poked the hornet's nest. Google this Punjabi now," Dosanjh wrote.

Soon, things took a worse turn when Ranaut again said she was talking about the Shaheen Bagh 'dadi'.
Replying to her, Dosanjh said, "You are such a fool! We're talking about the elderly woman whose photo you shared and said she protests for Rs 100 a day. Did you hear her answer or do I need to send it to you again? Your manipulations will work in Bollywood but not in Punjab."

In another tweet, he said, "What school taught you to demean people's mothers and sisters and call them labourers who'd protest for Rs 100?."
"Do they appear to you as ones who would incite violence? Every word you say is like that, what do you want? They are like God for us. Did nobody teach you the etiquette of speech? Punjabis will teach you how to speak to those who are elder to you," he wrote in one tweet.

"A peaceful protest is on. This lady is trying to divert the issue by highlighting nonsensical topics. She is known for this trait. Punjabis know this," he said.
As the verbal fight took a nastier turn, actors Taapsee Pannu, Angad Bedi, Kubbra Sait, and Swara Bhasker jumped into support Dosanjh. The Veere Di Wedding star tagged the singer and tweeted, "Diljit Dosanjh is a star! Dil-jit actually!." The Sacred Games actor, Sait tweeted" "I love Diljit Dosanjh."
Singer Mika Singh shared, "I used to have immense respect for Kangana Ranaut. I even tweeted in support when her office was demolished. I now think I was wrong, Kangana being a woman you should show the old lady some respect. If you have any etiquette then apologise. Shame on you."
