Kangana Ranaut blasts Bollywood celebs for tweeting about Black Lives Matter, blames ‘colonial slavery genes’
Hindustan TimesActor Kangana Ranaut has slammed her Bollywood contemporaries for failing to condemn local injustices, but not hesitating before commenting on the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States. Perhaps, it is because of their pre-independence colonial slavery genes.” Several social media users have made similar observations about Bollywood stars. It takes courage to bring your cowardice to the fore when you tweet for American lives but can’t tweet for Indian lives.” Kangana continued, “Even for environmental issues, you see them fight for a white teenage kid but so many incredible elderly women and even children. Perhaps, sadhus or tribal people aren’t fancy enough for the Bollywood crowd or their followers.” Kangana had previously slammed her Bollywood colleagues for their perceived silence over recent protests which were organised against the Citizenship Amendment Act, calling a section of the industry ‘sissies’, ‘cowards’ and ‘spineless’.
