Kangana Ranaut hits out at Naseeruddin Shah, says' allowed to be called a dog, not a fox' Bollywood's silence
In an interview, Naseeruddin Shah had questioned the silence of Bollywood's big stars amid the student movements and protests. He had said that the big faces of the film industry will speak when their conscience allows them to. Naseeruddin Shah had compared Bollywood stars to a dog with a bone in its mouth. He had reportedly indicated that he would not raise his voice openly as long as the interests of these stars are protected. When asked if people are deliberately keeping quiet by suppressing their conscience, he agreed. However, he also said that the question is how long they will be able to do this and the answer will be given in the coming time.
Bollywood actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has reacted to actor Naseeruddin Shah's statement in which he questioned the silence of Bollywood's big stars on the issue of student movements. After Naseeruddin Shah's comment, Kangana has now directly targeted him, raising questions about his patriotism and alleged political intentions.
Kangana, through her Instagram story, questioned Naseeruddin Shah that if he is so concerned about the student movements and the current situation in the country, why is he not raising his voice on the ongoing protests in Jharkhand. Kangana also shared a video of Piyush Mishra on the same issue and expressed her displeasure over Naseeruddin Shah's comment.
'Accept being called a dog, not a fox'
Kangana wrote in a very sharp way that everyone is loyal to someone. He said that he is proud that he is ready to protect and fight for the country whose bread he eats. He then went on to accuse Naseeruddin Shah of speaking in the interest of the neighbouring country and even called him a 'fox'.
Kangana said that in today's era, even calling a human being a 'dog' is not an insult to her, but a compliment related to loyalty and innocence. She made it clear that she would rather be called a loyal "dog" than a "fox" like Naseeruddin Shah.

Kangana Ranaut and Naseeruddin Shah
Kangana's response to Naseeruddin Shah's comment has further heated up the Bollywood controversy. On one hand, Naseeruddin Shah questioned the silence of the film industry and the conscience of the artists, on the other hand, Kangana responded by questioning their ideology and commitment to the country.
Kangana has been in the headlines for targeting the opposition in Parliament and on political issues. In such a situation, his aggressive response to Naseeruddin Shah's statement seems to be giving rise to a new debate on both fronts - Bollywood and politics.
