Kangana Ranaut Opens Up About Humiliating Fashion Industry Episode
Bollywood actor and politician Kangana Ranaut has sparked fresh controversy by sharing a deeply personal story. She describes an incident that left her feeling humiliated and emotionally shaken. The episode involves fashion designer Masaba Gupta and centers on a visit to Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya.
Social Media Revelation Sparks Debate
Kangana Ranaut took to her social media accounts over the weekend to recount this painful memory. She first hinted at the incident through Instagram Stories. As followers bombarded her with questions, she provided detailed explanations on platform X.
The actor-politician questioned why Masaba Gupta never acknowledged or shared viral photographs. These pictures showed Kangana wearing Masaba's designs during her Ayodhya visit. "Designers typically celebrate when celebrities wear their creations," Kangana wrote. She suggested the silence felt intentional and pointed.
The Context: Film Promotion and Religious Visit
Kangana explained this happened during the promotional period for her film Tejas. The production house had appointed a stylist to handle her promotional appearances. When Kangana planned her visit to Ram Janmabhoomi, she asked the same stylist to arrange appropriate outfits.
According to Kangana's account, Masaba Gupta had initially sent clothing options for film promotions. However, when the designer learned Kangana intended to wear one outfit for the Ayodhya visit, she allegedly instructed the stylist to prevent this. Kangana claims the stylist then quietly advised her not to tag Masaba or her brand.
The stylist reportedly revealed she had personally paid for the saree. This payment supposedly aimed to avoid further embarrassment for Kangana.
Emotional Aftermath and Industry Critique
Kangana says she discovered these details only after dressing for the occasion. She was already traveling from Lucknow to Ayodhya when she learned the truth. "The situation overwhelmed me," she wrote. Kangana described experiencing hate, bitterness, and prejudice through this incident.
She reiterated feelings of helplessness from her earlier Instagram post. Unable to change outfits mid-journey, Kangana claims she cried quietly in her car. Later, she says the designer requested no association between the brand and that particular look.
Kangana also criticized what she perceives as selective outrage within entertainment circles. She questioned public displays of emotion while highlighting unspoken biases among industry elites.
Professional Context and Ongoing Impact
On the professional front, Kangana Ranaut recently appeared in Emergency. She portrayed former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in this political drama. Off-screen, her latest revelations have reignited discussions about politics, prejudice, and power dynamics.
These conversations span both fashion and film industries, ensuring the controversy continues generating debate. Kangana's personal story has become part of larger discussions about inclusion and bias in Indian celebrity culture.
