Congress has hit back at Kangana Ranaut for her derogatory remarks about Urmila Matondkar, questioning her failure to condemn her own comments, following Supriya Shrinate’s clarification of an objectionable post related to Ranaut on her Instagram.
In Short
- Congress slams Kangana Ranaut for derogatory remarks
- Ranaut called Urmila Matondkar a ‘soft porn star’ in earlier video
- Supriya Shrinate clarifies objectionable post on Ranaut
Hours after Congress lawmaker Supriya Shrinate clarified an offensive tweet about Kangana Ranaut on her Instagram account, the party attacked the actor for referring to actor Urmila Matondkar, who had previously joined and left Congress, as a “soft porn star”.
Srinivas BV, president of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) on X, shared an older video of Ranaut raving about Urmila Matondkar, saying, “What was posted from Supriya Ji’s account was utterly disrespectful. She has not only erased it, but also clarified and condemned it in the strongest possible terms.” (sic).
“How about you?” Calling Urmila Matondkar a’soft porn star’ on live television? “Have you condemned it?” he tweeted.
THE KANGANA-URMILA CONTROVERSY
Urmila Matondkar, who made her political debut as a Congress candidate in the 2019 Lok Sabha election from the Mumbai North constituency, resigned from the party soon after. Later, in 2020, she joined Shiv Sena.
Urmila had slammed Kangana for disrespecting veteran actor Jaya Bachchan, who, in a 2020 speech in Parliament, had objected to the entire film industry being ‘tarnished’.
In an interview, Urmila said, “When Kangana was not even born, Jaya ji was in the film industry. We’re talking about a lady here (Jaya Bachchan) who has herself been an icon. Which part of Indian culture tells you to lash out at people like this?”
