Kangana Ranaut defends sister Rangoli Chandel, says it's time to 'demolish' Twitter
The actress also called out Farah Khan Ali and Reema Kagti for making false accusations against her sister.
The 33-year-old actress, in her video post, clarified that Chandel's tweet was to only stress on shooting down the people who are attacking doctors and police officials.
She also called out jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali, Suzzane Khan's sister and Sanjay Khan's daughter, and director Reema Kagti for making false accusations of Muslim genocide against her sister. She also stressed that she and Chandel don't believe that every individual who is attacking the corona warriors is a Muslim.
The 50-year-old Ali Khan, who tested negative on Thursday along with her entire family after a member of her house-staff tested positive for the novel, coronavirus took to the micro-blogging site to reply to Ranaut. In her post, she explained why Chandel's tweet appeared like she was spreading hatred.
My dear Kangana,Yours truly Farah Khan Ali �� https://t.co/kG1lm7E7qe

Her remarks came a day after people started asking Twitter to suspend her account for posting controversial comments on the micro-blogging site. In her tweet, Phogat had used a hashtag, which ended up offending many people on the platform.

Actress Kangana Ranaut is used to making news, be it for winning a National Award, creating waves at the box office, or even for her personal life. The actress is known to not mince her words, even if it means things not always working in her favour. While Ranaut doesn’t shy away from commenting on issues she feels strongly about, recently the ‘Manikarnika’ actress has been receiving flak from a section of the media.
However, it’s not just Ranaut’s statements that have come under scrutiny, but also that of her sister and manager, Rangoli Chandel. Chandel’s tweets often slamming anyone and everyone in Bollywood, have received criticism. Several fans have even taken to the microblogging site to say that Rangoli, whose Twitter bio reads 'Manager & Sister to #KanganaRanaut' may be harming the 'Queen' star's image and overshadowing her work. some have even requested the actress to hire a professional publicist.
But Kangana isn't the first celebrity to be managed by a family member. Several others have also taken the family route when it comes to professional matters.
