Chandel's Twitter account has been suspended for allegedly ‘spreading hate’.
Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel is always in the limelight for her sometimes-controversial, sometimes-provocative tweets. In a recent turn of events, Chandel's Twitter account has been suspended for allegedly ‘spreading hate’. The move by Twitter has polarised the netizens.

Filmfare magazine reported the news first, tweeting a screenshot of Chandel’s account which now shows the message, ‘Account suspended’.

Chandel was recently in the eye of a storm for her tweets about Prime Minister Narendra Modi which didn’t go down well with Twitterati. On April 12, the acid attack survivor and actress had called for suspending 2024 General Elections as "unnecessarily we will waste huge resources and result we all anyway know”, implying that PM Modi would go on to win the 2024 General Elections as well.

However, that is not all. On April 15, Chandel had taken to Twitter to express her views on the Tablighi Jamaat.

The tweet, which was filled with hate speech and expletives, sparked a massive outrage on Twitter and several netizens tagged Twitter and Mumbai Police, demanding action on Rangoli Ranaut.

Exactly which tweet(s) led to the suspension of Chandel’s account is not yet known. However, several Twitterati rejoiced at the news of the suspension of the controversial figure’s account.

There were some, however, who felt that she will be back soon.

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.

Queen Bey and her father-manager Mathew Knowles's fallout was the stuff of headlines. While the 67-year-old now claims that he shares a good relationship with both his daughters, Beyoncé and Solange, after having learnt to switch from manager to father, it wasn't always the case. Mathew not only managed 'Destiny's Child' but reportedly also trained three members to sing.

Mathew was around right from the beginning of Beyoncé's career, until over a decade later when on March 28 in 2011 the 'Sorry' singer announced that the duo were going their separate ways, and the decision was mutual.

Since the split, the singer has been managed by her own company, Parkwood Entertainment.
