Witches have found a new advocate in Kangana Ranaut. The actress-politician recently took to X (formerly Twitter, and penned an impassioned post on witches, describing them as women who have discovered their higher “higher self..” An X user, John Collins, wrote, "Don’t be afraid of witches, be afraid of the ones who burned them."

Sharing the tweet, the ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ star wrote, "Witches are women who are connected to their higher self, their intuition, infectious free spirit, indomitable will power and uncontrollable urge to break all boundaries make them mysterious, frightening and threatening to those who are caged and cursed."

She added, "Caged people believe that gifted people have some evil powers and they must be burnt to ashes, misery exists in so many forms and jealousy is the most miserable of them all. You can choose to be jealous or be inspired, make a smart choice, those who choose to be inspired are the chosen ones, break the cage and break free..”


Samantha Ruth Prabhu on Sunday shared a screenshot of Kangana's tweet on her Instagram Stories and wrote, “Word..”

When Kangana Was Accused Of Being A Witch

The actress’s ex-boyfriend, actor Adhyayan Suman had accused her of practising black magic. He claimed she made people drink her menstrual blood.

Back in 2016, Suman told n an interview, “One day Kangana called me at home in the night to do some puja. I reached at 11.30 pm as the puja was to start at 12. She had a small guest room in her apartment and she had covered it in black, including black curtains. There were some random statues of God, fire all around, some scary things kept puja. She asked me to chant some mantras, and locked me in. I was terrified. I didn’t do it and I came out and told her that I had.”

In retaliation, Ranaut told NDTV, “It doesn't upset me when people call me names and talk about my period blood - but just don't call it gross. Because there is nothing gross about period blood. When we think about periods, it's my ability to reproduce, it's my ability to give birth. If there's nothing gross about a man's body fluids, then there is nothing mysterious or evil about women's body fluids either..” she said.

On the work front, Kangana will make her acting comeback with the political drama ‘Emergency’.

The political drama, which Kangana wrote, directed, and co-produced, was initially set for release on September 6 after experiencing several postponements. However, it couldn't meet that date due to being held up by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The movie Emergency has been surrounded by controversy for a while, particularly drawing criticism from Sikh organizations over its portrayal of the community. Now that the CBFC has granted certification, Kangana has confirmed that a new release date will be revealed shortly
