Another controversy erupted after an offensive post was made from Congress leader Supriya Shrinate's and leader HS Ahir's Instagram handle against Kangana Ranaut. Replying to the Congress leader, Kangana Ranaut took to X and wrote, "Dear Supriya ji In the last 20 years of my career as an artist I have played all kinds of women. From a naive girl in Queen to a seductive spy in Dhaakad, from a goddess in Manikarnika to a demon in Chandramukhi, from a prostitute in Rajjo to a revolutionary leader in Thalaivii. We must free our daughters from the shackles of prejudices, we must rise above the curiosity about their body parts and above all we must refrain from using sex workers challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur¡­ every woman deserves her dignity".
