Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut on Sunday landed into yet another controversy when she accused a journalist of launching a 'smear campaign' against her, at the song launch event of her upcoming film, Judgementall Hai Kya, co-starring Rajkummar Rao. The actress further alleged that he misquoted her on social media during the release of her last film, Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. The journalist, however, dismissed her claims and asked her for proof. While Kangana has kept mum on the issue since then, her sister Rangoli Chandel, who also happens to be her spokesperson, has jumped into her defense by sharing screenshots on social media.
Questioning how dare the journalist 'mock Manikarnika’s name and openly lie that he never wrote anything about it', Rangoli shared a series of posts by the journalist and wrote:
Yesh dekho beshram @JustinJRao journalist ko, woh jisne tumhe aazadi di hai, usi ki khilli udao, How dare he mock Manikarnika’s name and openly lie that he never wrote anything about it, lekin Kangana ko khilli udane wali hasi kabhi nahin bhoolti....(contd) pic.twitter.com/S5tThLSgLp

She further claimed that the journalist used to pretend to be her friend but when she spoke against cow slaughter and made nationalist film, he did major smear campaign against her. Rangoli also alleged that he trolled Kangana for no reason:
Yeh dekho always trolling her for no reason, she has the right to say no to such cheap People, you don’t like Kangana its fine but don’t expect her to hug you and respond to your sly double faced friendship in public when she knows you are a bhediya bhed ki khaal mein...(contd) pic.twitter.com/BhzJF3T7Ne

She went on to share a picture of the journalist posing with Kangana and asked how the so-called liberal 'can they mock a national hero like Manikarnika for their petty mind set,' further asking the government to take a strict against them.
Apni media ki halat dekho, jabse Kangana ne Modi ji ko support kiya hai aur nationalist film banai hai, yeh sab so called liberals uski jaan ke dushman ban gaye hain, yehi @JustinJRao blush karta hua Kangana ke aage peeche ghumta tha...(contd) pic.twitter.com/memoQwIlia
