While some mourned the death of the Queen, anti-colonial anger was seen in others. As Bollywood stars including Kangana Ranaut, Anil Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma among others also mourned the loss, they all got trolled for the same.
The recent one to join the bandwagon was Kareena Kapoor Khan who posted a photo of King Charles to pay homage to Queen Elizabeth II.

It's not like they were actual aristocrats of the subcontinent (so much for the eugenics ?)?Saifu and begum 'KKK' has a reason to acknowledge their colonial masters. Ek ? to banta hain."
