Kangana Ranaut’s Twitter followers drop, asks ‘Why are they doing this any idea?’

Kangana Ranaut’s team was managing her Twitter account, but a few days ago, the actress decided to make her social media debut by coming herself on the micro-blogging site.

Well, recently, a fan of Kangana tweeted that the actress’ followers were dropping and the actress agreed with the fan. Kangana replied to the fan, “I agree I notice pattern every day 40-50 thousand followers drop, I am very new to this place but how does this work? Why are they doing this any idea? @TwitterIndia @jack @TwitterSupport.”


When she had joined Twitter, Kangana had told in the video, “It has been 15 years since I have been working in films. In these years, there have been many occasions when there have been moments of pressure to join social media. Agencies and several brands know that I have let go deals worth crores where there was just one clause that I should be on social media. I have been called a witch (chudail) and people have taken advantage of the fact that I am not on social media. I chose to stay away from social media as I never felt any distance from my audience. I have always felt that if I had to say anything, why should I do so in a rudimentary way; through films I have talked about women empowerment and nationalism. I believed that I would do so in an artistic way. That has been my stance for long.”

“This year, however, I noticed the power of social media. I have seen how the entire world came together to fight for Sushant and have got success, that has truly made me feel positive about things. I am hopeful that if we all get together, we can raise our voice and initiate reforms. That is the reason this month I joined Twitter and I am excited. I want your support. I am looking forward to this amazing journey where there are so many amazing people. Thank you for this opportunity,” she had added.

Kangana says her village roots made her Bollywood journey harder than Shah Rukh Khan's Delhi privilege

Highlights:

  • Speaking at a business event, she basically said her village roots made it harder.
  • Directly named SRK, calling him a Delhiite with a convent education.
  • Threw "brutal honesty" out there as her secret weapon.
  • You can already imagine the social media frenzy this kicked off.
  • It's the latest salvo in the whole insider-outsider war that never ends.

Well, she's done it again. Kangana Ranaut, now MP, just reframed the entire Bollywood struggle debate with one comparison. At a recent industry gathering in Delhi, she got to talking about her success. And then she brought up Shah Rukh Khan. Not with nostalgia. She positioned her own journey from a no-name Himachal village as the tougher path against his, what she termed, convent-educated Delhi background, and it obviously sparked reactions online.
