Kangana Strikes Again, Says Most Young People Wearing Ripped Jeans Look Like 'Homeless Beggars'

Since Wednesday night the one trend that refuses to die down on Twitter is that of #RippedJeans. The reason for that is because people across the country are slamming the statement of Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat.?The CM described in detail the attire of a woman who had once traveled in a flight on the seat next to his, before going on to questioning her values.?

Rawat said, “Showing bare knees by wearing ripped jeans just to look like rich kids is the value given now which is just a race towards westernization when the Western world today is following us. Ripped jeans pave the way for societal breakdown and is a bad example parent set for children.”??

Completely misunderstanding the trend is actor Kangana Ranaut who has said any young person wearing ripped jeans appears to be a 'beggar'.?

She wrote, “If you want to wear ripped jeans make sure coolness quotient is of this magnitude as in these pics, so that it looks like your style, not your state a homeless beggar who hasn’t got an allowance from parents this month, most young people look like that these days #RippedJeansTwitter.”??
