Social Media War Erupts Between Kangana Ranaut and Vir Das
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut and comedian-actor Vir Das have reignited a years-old controversy after Das shared an account of an uncomfortable experience on a film set. The exchange took place on X (formerly Twitter) on June 28, 2026, drawing widespread attention.
Ranaut's Blistering Response
Kangana Ranaut reacted sharply to a post by Vir Das, in which he recalled an incident from a decade ago. Ranaut questioned Das's motives, writing: "Thanks Vir but who is she ? Ewww seems like some weirdo using us to satisfy her demonic sex fantasies, I am eating your blood and you are traumatised and crying even today after a decade. How random ?" She attached a link to a now-deleted post.
Das Clarifies His Position
Vir Das responded by clarifying that his original account was not about Ranaut but someone else. He wrote: "Right. Just so we are clear. This story is pure fiction. Kangana was a complete professional and I still maintain, a truly gifted artist. This is unfair slander to her." However, he noted that Ranaut later called him a "terrorist" for his comedy, but maintained that on set there were no problems.
Background of the Feud
The exchange is the latest in a series of public disagreements between the two. In 2020, Ranaut had criticized Das for a comedy sketch she deemed offensive. Das's latest tweet was in response to a user who had linked him to a story about a female star behaving inappropriately on set, which Das denied.
Industry Reactions
The spat has divided opinions online, with some supporting Ranaut's right to defend herself and others backing Das's version of events. Neither party has indicated any intention to take legal action.
