Wherever actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut goes, she is known to ruffle feathers. Her entry into politics is no different. The outspoken actress is hogging the limelight. Perhaps, that's a reason why she was given a party ticket into the political battlefield. A day after her Lok Sabha election candidature nomination from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was announced, a "disgusting comment" in a now-deleted tweet by rival Congress party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate has sent BJP leaders Shehzad Poonawalla and Amit Malviya calling for the Shrinate's sacking.

Responding to Shrinate's now-deleted tweet, Kangana Ranaut said that women should rise above such prejudices. She also said that using words alluding to prostitution to abuse a woman was demeaning and derogatory. She said ‘every woman deserves dignity’ no matter what is her job.

"Dear Supriya ji In the last 20 years of my career as an artist I have played all kinds of women. From a naive girl in Queen to a seductive spy in Dhaakad, from a goddess in Manikarnika to a demon in Chandramukhi, from a prostitute in Rajjo to a revolutionary leader in Thalaivii," Ranaut said in a post on X, further adding, "We must free our daughters from the shackles of prejudices, we must rise above the curiosity about their body parts and above all we must refrain from using sex workers’ challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur... every woman deserves her dignity," she added.

Shrinate later denied posting the same stating that someone else accessed her account to do the aforementioned.
