Kangana Ranaut's Twitter account may take longer to be restored

It has been an exciting week since the world's richest billionaire, Elon Musk, became the new owner of the social networking site Twitter last week on October 27. The SpaceX boss, who has a net worth of more than $200 billion, sealed the platform's fate when he completed the $44 billion takeover of Twitter.

Fans have been hoping to see their favourite actress, Kangana Ranaut, return to Twitter, but the wait may be longer.

On Wednesday, Musk took to the micro-blogging site to confirm that accessing who gets to come back on Twitter may take 'weeks'.


In his tweet, the Tesla CEO said that Twitter would not allow anyone, who has been booted off the site, to return until the officials find the best plan of action to do so. He also said that this process will take at least a few weeks.


Soon after the Twitter takeover, the 'Queen' star expressed that she was hoping to get access to her suspended Twitter account.

Ranaut re-shared a fan's post, which asked Musk to restore the actress' account, on Instagram. The person, who goes by the username moron_humor, originally shared the post on Twitter and posted screenshots of Donald Trump's statement and Kangana's blocked account. The person captioned the post, "In the spirit of 'Freedom of Speech'... Hope you restore @KanganaTeam as well @elonmusk ..."

In May 2021, Kangana's Twitter account was 'permanently suspended for repeated violation of Twitter rules'. The suspension came after the actress shared had made an incendiary post, claiming that the victory of the Mamata Banerjee-led All India Trinamool Congress in the Assembly election of West Bengal had led to violence.

On the other hand, a day after he called his supporters to protest which caused the US Capitol riot, former President Donald Trump's account was "permanently suspended ... due to the risk of further incitement of violence" in January last year.

The 51-year-old businessman also said that the platform will continue to combat hate and harassment.

On Thursday, Musk became Twitter Inc's new owner and reportedly fired top executives including CEO Parag Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal and legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde.

In July, in a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk who had long been showing his interest in buying Twitter terminated the deal. The Tesla CEO alleges that Twitter violated their mutual purchase agreement by misrepresenting the number of spam and fake bot accounts on its platform. After Musk put out the deal termination announcement, the market saw a sharp decline. Later, Twitter sued Musk accusing him of using bots as a pretext to exit a deal.
