After American President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris, numerous memes targeting Harris surfaced online. Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut has spoken out in support of Kamala Harris, calling out the misogyny embedded in these memes. On her Instagram stories, Kangana shared a meme that likened Kamala to a ‘call girl,’ criticizing the sexist nature of such comparisons. Although Kangana does not support the Democrats, she expressed her disapproval of the misogyny Harris is facing. “Since Biden has endorsed Harris for POTUS…SM is full of such memes…I don’t support democrats but it’s amusing even in America an elderly woman politician who has been attorney general of California has to face sexism to this extent,” she wrote. Kangana also commented on how modern Americans consider themselves progressive yet display regressive attitudes worse than those in India.
Kangana Ranaut Calls Out Sonu Sood
Kangana Ranaut recently made headlines for calling out fellow actor Sonu Sood. Sonu faced backlash after defending a food vendor who was seen spitting on a customer’s food. Kangana shared a sarcastic comment on X (formerly Twitter), mocking Sonu’s justification of the act. “Next you know Sonu ji will direct his own Ramayana based on his own personal findings about God and religion. Wah kya baat hai Bollywood se ek aur Ramayana,” she wrote. Sonu had compared the vendor’s act to the mythological story of Lord Ram eating Shabri’s berries, describing the act of spitting as one of ‘Humanity’. This defense did not sit well with many, including Kangana, who found it highly inappropriate.
