A war of words has erupted between veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah and actor-singer Piyush Mishra, with BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut now weighing in on the controversy.

Kangana Ranaut SLAMS Naseeruddin Shah After Piyush Mishra Reacts To Veteran’s Dog Comment

The controversy started when Naseeruddin Shah made a remark about Bollywood’s silence on student protests, comparing the industry to “a dog with a bone in its mouth that cannot bark.” Mishra responded to this during an appearance at the Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium in Ranchi, questioning Naseeruddin’s own silence on the Jharkhand students’ protests and challenging his earlier comments.

Kangana Ranaut has now joined the debate, referring to Naseeruddin as a “lomdi” (fox) while supporting Mishra. Reacting to Mishra’s comments, Kangana posted, “Sach toh yeh hai har koi kisi na kisi ka kutta hai, lekin mujhe iss baat ka garv hai ki main jis ghar (desh) ki roti khati hoon uski rakhwali karti hoon/ uske liye ladti hoon, Naseer Saab khaate toh iss desh ka hain lekin laḍte padosi desh keliye hain.” She further explained that being compared to a dog could be seen as a compliment because of the animal’s loyalty.

“I’d rather be a dog than a lomdi (fox) like Naseeruddin,” Kangana added.

What Did Piyush Mishra Say?

Earlier, during the Jharkhand student protests, Piyush Mishra directly addressed Naseeruddin’s earlier comments. He said, “Naseer Sahab, you had said during the CJP protest that some people from the film industry weren’t speaking up for the students protesting at Jantar Mantar. You said those who have bones in their mouths, they don’t speak. With all due respect, I would like to ask you, where are the other dogs who can’t speak?”

Mishra also questioned the involvement of those who participated in protests in Delhi and Mumbai over the NEET paper leak, alleging some were more interested in comforts like pizza and burgers than standing with students fighting for their rights. While Mishra maintained respect for Naseeruddin Shah as an actor, he made it clear that he no longer feels intimidated by the veteran star.

This exchange has added another layer to the ongoing debate about celebrities speaking out on social and political issues, with Kangana’s comments bringing a political tone to the disagreement between the two veteran actors.
