‘Jealousy or insecurity?’: Kangana’s Trump dig deleted after JP Nadda’s intervention

After PM Modi’s speech, Ranaut once again took to social media to commend the Prime Minister for his leadership during a crucial moment.

Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut stirred controversy after she posted a now-deleted tweet criticising US President Donald Trump in response to Trump’s recent remarks about discouraging Apple CEO Tim Cook from expanding manufacturing operations in India.

The post quickly went viral after Kangana Ranaut questioned Donald Trump’s intentions, suggesting his remarks were driven by “personal jealousy or diplomatic insecurity.” She also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him “sab alpha male ka baap.” The tweet drew mixed reactions with both support and criticism pouring in.

Soon after, Kangana revealed that BJP National President JP Nadda had called her and advised her to take the post down. Obeying party instructions, she promptly took it down from Twitter and Instagram.

Respected national president Shri @JPNadda ji called and asked me to delete the tweet I had posted regarding Trump asking Apple CEO Tim Cook not to manufacture in India.I regret posting that very personal opinion of mine, as per instructions I immediately deleted it from

The tweet read:
What could be the reason of this love loss?
1) He is American president but world’s most loved leader is Indian Prime Minister. 2) Trump’s second term but Indian Prime Minister’s third term. 3) undoubtedly Trump is alpha male but our PM is sab Alpha male ka baap. What do you think? This is personal jealousy or diplomatic insecurity?
In a follow-up statement, she said, “Respected national president Shri @JPNadda ji called and asked me to delete the tweet I had posted regarding Trump asking Apple CEO Tim Cook not to manufacture in India. I regret posting that very personal opinion of mine, as per instructions I immediately deleted it from Instagram as well. Thanks."

Even though the tweet was deleted, screenshots of Kangana's original post spread across social media, keeping the controversy alive and sparking ongoing debate.

The controversy unfolded just days after Prime Minister Modi addressed the nation on May 12, his first speech since the launch of Operation Sindoor, India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack earlier this month. His address also came shortly after India and Pakistan agreed to a sudden ceasefire across all fronts.

After PM Modi’s speech, Ranaut once again took to social media to commend the Prime Minister for his leadership during a crucial moment.

“Dear Prime Minister ji, you led us with unmatched courage, wisdom, and unwavering commitment and compassion for the nation. A great leader in every sense #Modi", she wrote on X.
