The now-taken down derogatory post on Instagram, which was made a day after the BJP fielded Kangana Ranaut from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi, showed a photo of scantily-clad Kangana Ranaut, with a derogatory caption.
Responding to the row over an objectionable social media post against her shared by Congress leader Supriya Shrinate, Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut on Tuesday said she would discuss the further course of action on the matter with BJP President JP Nadda in Delhi.
The BJP’s Lok Sabha poll candidate from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi said, “We have reacted to the row over the objectionable post. BJP chief JP Nadda has asked me to meet him in Delhi. Will be able to speak on the matter after the meeting with him.”
The actor added that she would discuss if she had to take any legal action against Congress’ Supriya Shrinate during the meeting with Nadda.

Supriya Shrinate later claimed that the social media post was made by someone who had access to her Facebook and Instagram accounts. She also blamed a parody account that was misusing her name on X. However, Shrinate’s clarification was met with strong criticism from BJP leaders and other politicians.
Ranaut had responded to the derogatory post on social media, saying “every woman deserves her dignity”.
Meanwhile, the National Commission for Women (NCW), through a letter to the Election Commission of India (ECI), has sought ‘strict action’ against Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate and party leader HS Ahir for their ‘lewd and derogatory’ social media posts against actor Kangana Ranaut.
