Kangana Ranaut slams her contemporaries for standing up for #BlackLivesMatter and not commenting on local crimes

Reacting to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, millions of people, especially in the US, have come to the streets to protest using the slogans “I can’t breathe” and “Black Lives Matter”. Many Bollywood celebs like Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Disha Patani among others have condemned the crime on social media.

Kangana Ranaut is seemed to be not happy that most of the Bollywood celebs have never spoken about the crimes happening in their own country. In an interview to Pinkvilla, Kangana said, “The Sadhu lynching happened a couple of weeks ago; still no one said a word. It happened in Maharashtra where most of these celebrities reside…Bollywood anyway is a derived name from Hollywood. It is a shame they [Bollywood celebrities] continue to live in a bubble and never fail to jump on the bandwagon, which can give them two minutes of fame, but ‘white people’ must drive the bandwagon. Perhaps, it is because of their pre-independence colonial slavery genes.”

Kangana further said, “Even for environmental issues, you see them fight for a white teenage kid but so many incredible elderly women and even children. They are doing exceptionally well in India on environmental matters without any help or support. Some of them were honoured with the Padma Shri award. I was amazed to see their stories, but they never get the same acknowledgement from the industry. Perhaps, sadhus or tribal people aren’t fancy enough for the Bollywood crowd or their followers.”
