Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut has been creating a lot of controversies with her unabashed tweets and her latest post, through which she has been accused of inciting violence against the team of Saif Ali Khan starrer Tandav, forced Twitter to temporarily restrict her account.

Kangana attacked Team Tandav writing, "The problem isn’t just the Hindu phobic content, it’s also creatively poor and deprived,atrocious and objectionable on every level hence deliberately placed controversial scenes. Put them in jail not just for criminal intentions but also for torturing the viewer #tandavwebseries."

Reacting to a Twitter user's tweet as to how 'people have stopped taking insults lying down', the actress had tweeted, "Because even Lord Krishna forgave 99 mistakes of Sheshupala.... pehle Shanti phir Kranti... time to take their heads off... Jai Shri Krishan…"

This tweet created quite a furor and people accused her of inciting violence. The tweet was later deleted but it seems that several people reported her account after she posted the tweet, which led to her account being temporarily restricted.

The actress wrote, "Librus cried to their chacha @jack and got my account temporarily restricted, they are threatening me mera account/virtual identity kabhi bhi desh keliye shaheed ho sakti hai,magar my reloaded desh bhakt version will reappear through my movies.Tumhara jeena dushwar karke rahungi."
