'I'm a proud Hindu who doesn't eat beef, people know that'; Kangana Ranaut

MUMBAI: Bollywood actress and BJP candidate Kangana Ranaut has responded to allegations made by Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar. Kangana took to social media to clarify, stating, 'I don’t consume beef or any other kind of red meat. It is shameful that completely baseless rumours are being spread about me. I have been advocating and promoting a yogic and Ayurvedic way of life for decades now. Such tactics won’t work to tarnish my image. My people know me and they know that I am a proud Hindu and nothing can ever mislead them. Jai Shri Ram.' Kangana is contesting the constituency from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh.

Senior Congress leader and leader of the opposition in Maharashtra, Vijay Wadettiwar, wrote on X that Kangana loves beef and eats it. In response to Wadettiwar's allegations, BJP spokesperson Keshav Upadhyay condemned the Congress, stating 'This reflects the dirty culture of the Congress. They cannot solve our problems. This shows the defeated mentality of the party.'
