New Delhi:
A comment about the blockbuster Shah Rukh Khan actor Pathaan sparked a viral back and forth on Twitter between actor Kangana Ranaut and actor and influencer Uorfi Javed.
It all started with Kangana Ranaut’s comment on an appreciation message for Shah Rukh Khan, which said, “Hindu Muslims love SRK equally” and that “India is super secular”.
“Very good analysis… this country has only loved all Khans and sometimes only and only Khans… And obsessed with Muslim actresses so it is very unfair to accuse India of hatred and fascism… there is no country like Bharat in the entire world,” Kangana Ranaut wrote in response to a post from a Bollywood producer.

Uorfi Javed responded to the ‘Manikarnika’ actor’s two-day-old tweet, noting, “Oh my God! What is this division, Muslim actors, Hindu actors. Art is not divided by religion. There are only actors.”

Kangana Ranaut, who is an open supporter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, responded to Uorfi Javed’s tweet: “Yes, my dear Uorfi, that will be an ideal world, but it is not possible unless we have the Uniform Civil Code, until the time this country is divided in the constitution itself it will remain divided. Let’s all demand a unified civil code from @narendramodiji in the manifesto of 2024. Shall we?”
Back to Uorfi, who tried to downplay Mrs. Ranaut’s suggestion. “Uniform wound is a bad idea for me ma’am! I’m only popular because of my clothes,” said the Instagram favorite known for her outrageous fashion.
Then she followed it up with a “clarification”.

Ms Ranaut, who often posts excessive unfiltered content on Twitter, had previously posted similar tweets on Pathaan. “I do believe that Indian Muslims are patriotic and very different from Afghan Pathans… the crux is that India will never be Afghanistan, we all know what happens in Afghanistan, it’s beyond hell there, so an apt name for the movie Pathan according to its storyline is Indian Pathan.”
Ms Ranaut recently returned to Twitter after a nearly two-year ban. The microblogging website banned her account in May 2021, after she posted controversial content related to post-election violence in Bengal.
