Kangana tweeted Mohinder Kaur’s picture and wrote, “Ha ha… this is the same grandmother who was included in Time magazine’s list of 100 most influential people and she is available for Rs 100.”
However, Kangana Ranaut later deleted this tweet. Let us tell you that the Bilkis Bano mentioned by Kangana is an 82-year-old woman and she made international headlines during the CAA Protest in Shaheen Bagh area of Delhi.

Following this, Kangana Ranaut, taking a dig at Shankaracharya, had said in a social media post that Swami Avimukteshwarananda had “hurt everyone’s sentiments” by calling Shinde a “traitor” and “traitor”. “It is very normal and constitutional to have alliances, pacts and party splits in politics. The Congress party split in 1907 and again in 1971. If a politician does not do politics, will he sell pangappas?”
