New Delhi: Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut came in support of folk singer Neha Singh Rathore and said that despite their contrary political takes, she believes no woman should be defamed for TRPs.
Rathore and Ranaut are known to have clashes, with Rathore coming up with satirical political folk songs, which often target the BJP. Recently, a news channel aired a report which used derogatory words for Rathore.
The singer, who alleged the channel attempted to malign her reputation by portraying her as a sex worker, shared a note on her X handle Sunday and asked Ranaut if the actor had anything to say.
Dear @KanganaTeam Ji, Like you, I too am a daughter of this country. Although there is a difference in our ideologies, this difference cannot change the shared truth of us both being women. The channel deliberately ran fake news against me and called me a prostitute. This false news was seen by the entire country, and my dignity was hurt, she wrote in the post.
@ABPNews की ये ख़बर देखिए.
ये चैनल मुझे वेश्या और कॉल गर्ल बताना चाहता है.
मैं सरकार से सवाल पूछूँगी तो ये बिके हुए चैनल मुझे इस तरह से अपमानित करने का प्रयास करेंगे.
इस देश का महिला आयोग मर गया है क्या? @NCWIndia
इन गोदी चैनलों का भाजपा की दलाली से पेट नहीं भर रहा है. इन्हें अब बेटियों का सम्मान खाना है.
@narendramodi इस देश को आपने बेटियों के लिए नर्क बना दिया है.

There must be sisters in your family too! Little girls! Don’t you feel afraid for them Don’t you have anything to say about this thuggery by it, she added.
Ranaut responded with a post and said baselessly defaming any woman for the sake of TRPs is absolutely despicable. The actor said the head of the channel should take the responsibility.
Neha-ji, your political views and the statements you make from time to time are contrary to my own political beliefs and are unacceptable to me; however, baselessly defaming any woman for the sake of TRPs is absolutely despicable. The head of ABP should take responsibility for this, she said.
