Many of my Muslim friends drink, eat pork, have premarital sex: Kangana Ranaut

Ranaut has yet again offered her support to Nupur Sharma, over her Islamophobic comments

Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has yet again offered her support to the suspended BJP leader, Nupur Sharma, over the latter's Islamophobic comments. India's ruling Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) continued to receive flak over the weekend over its national spokesperson's blasphemous remarks against Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). 

BJP’s national spokeswoman Sharma and Delhi media operation head Naveen Jindal were reported by the media to also have been expelled from the party. Even as people across the country have taken up slogans against the politician, actor Kangana Ranaut, who is known for not holding back her views, showed support. 

The actor shared a conversation between Imtiaz Jalil and Owaisi in which Nupur’s fiasco is mentioned and wrote, “Many of my Muslim friends drink and smoke, have premarital sex, don’t wear burkha, use swear words, eat pork and because of work situations at the time don’t even follow halal guidelines… its fine beauty of India is freedom nahi toh not just Nupur, but everyone will become criminals."

Earlier she had mentioned how people should not threaten Nupur Sharma and wrote, “Nupur is entitled to her opinions, I see all kinds of threats targeted at her when Hindu gods are insulted which they are almost every day we go to court, please do that no need to play dons yourself, this is not Afghanistan, we have a proper functioning government which is chosen with a process called democracy… just a reminder for those who keep forgetting.”

She also sought help from one of Aamir Khan's films, PK, and narrated a scene. The Queen actress shared her views over the ongoing protests on her Instagram with a screenshot in which PK (Aamir Khan) can be seen 'mocking' a stage actor who plays the Hindu god, Shiva. The sequence did not go well with the audience and the film received harsh criticism for the same, as it reportedly hurt their religious sentiments. 

Sharing the clip, Kangana boasted that 'Hindus' didn't go overboard over the sequence, and now, people are creating a ruckus just because Nupur quoted from Hadith.

Kangana said, "This is one of the reasons why I love being a Hindu, even something as obnoxious as this doesn't bother my Shivam... it doesn't even disturb my spirituality or faith either. Just because a woman out of rage quoted Hadith toh poore desh ko sar pe utha liya hai, what kind of people do this. Such alarming behaviour." 

Sharma's remarks had come during a televised debate, whereas Jindal had tweeted them out, in a Twitter post that has now been deleted. Following the backlash, Sharma posted on Twitter that she had said, "some things in response to comments made about a Hindu god but it was never an intention to hurt anyone's religious feelings".

Earlier, Bollywood actor Swara Bhaskar, who has often raised her voice for Indian Muslims and their ordeals, took to social media and shared her two cents on the matter. 

"Uproar in the Arab world following insults to Prophet Mohammad by ruling party spokespeople on national TV led to calls to boycott Indian products trending on Arab social media," the Veere Di Wedding star penned.

She added, "Mohan Bhagwat’s statement and BJP suspending Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal are the results. Hate doesn’t pay!"
