Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, known for speaking her mind, recently addressed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh. This interaction between the PM and Diljit caught the public’s eye, sparking conversations online, especially because Kangana has previously expressed her wish to meet the Prime Minister for a meaningful discussion.
In a recent podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, Kangana was asked how she felt about not getting a chance to meet PM Modi while Diljit, someone with whom she has had disagreements in the past, had already met him. She brushed aside any suggestion that she felt embarrassed or upset about it.
Speaking about Diljit’s role during the farmers’ protest, Kangana shared her thoughts candidly. “He was one of the main faces during the protests. He defended those who, according to me, were creating havoc. But what’s embarrassing about this? I don’t feel embarrassed about the Prime Minister not meeting me but meeting Diljit. For him, everyone is equal in the public’s eyes,” she said.
Kangana went on to clarify that she doesn’t see this as a disappointment. “I’ve never really had the chance to meet him properly. Maybe I greeted him once and said namaste, but I’ve never sat down and interacted with him. I would love to meet him someday and have a meaningful conversation,” she added.
The conversation gained traction as Kangana and Diljit have had a history of public disagreements, particularly during the farmers’ protest. The two engaged in heated exchanges on social media, with Kangana openly criticizing him and his stance. Despite their differences, Diljit meeting PM Modi seemed to signal a neutral stance from the Prime Minister, something Kangana acknowledged.
Earlier this year, Diljit Dosanjh shared glimpses of his meeting with PM Modi on his social media, calling it a special moment. Videos of the meeting went viral, including one where the Prime Minister tapped on a table like a dholak as Diljit performed a Punjabi song. The lighthearted interaction was praised by many for showcasing the cultural connection.
Kangana, while addressing the incident, also hinted at the larger picture. “The Prime Minister represents the entire nation. His interactions are not about personal opinions but about connecting with people from all walks of life. That’s how it should be,” she said.
Fans and followers had mixed reactions to her statements. While some admired her for handling the question with maturity, others speculated whether there was an underlying disappointment she didn’t show.
Kangana’s outspoken personality has often made her the center of media attention, and this time was no different. The actress, who has always voiced her opinions without holding back, managed to strike a balance between expressing her perspective and showing respect for the Prime Minister’s decisions.
As the clip from the podcast continues to circulate online, it’s clear that Kangana’s comments will keep sparking discussions. For now, though, it seems she’s keeping her focus on her work while hoping for a chance to finally meet PM Modi one day.
