Kangana Ranaut requests Sikh community to come out in support of ‘Akhand Bharat’.
Kangana Ranaut, who will next be seen in ‘Emergency’, claims that Khalistanis ‘have severely damaged’ the whole Sikh community.
Amid rising tensions between India and Canada, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has requested the Sikh community to “dissociate” themselves from “Khalistanis“. In a lengthy post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Kangana talked about how her films faced fierce protests in Punjab when she had spoken against the Khalistanis.
Kangana, who will next be seen in ‘Emergency’, further claimed that Khalistanis “have severely damaged” the whole Sikh community. Her post also comes hours after Canada-based singer and rapper Shubh’s India tour was cancelled following allegations of his support for Khalistan.
Kangana wrote: “Sikh community must disassociate themselves from Khalistanis and more Sikhs must come out in the support of Akhand Bharat, the way I am boycotted by the Sikh community and how violently they protest against my films in Punjab because I spoke against Khalistani terrorists is not a good decision or sign from their end. Khalistani terrorism makes them look bad and it will ruin the credibility of entire community and their over all perception. In the past also Khalistanis have severely damaged the whole Sikh community, I request the entire Sikh community in the name of religion they must not get excited or instigated by Khalistani terrorists. Jai Hind.”

Earlier, AP Dhillon shared a cryptic post amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Shubh, whose Still Rollin tour now stands cancelled in India. Shubh on Thursday issued a public apology for sharing a distorted image of India’s flag on social media.
Dhillon didn’t address the controversy directly, but requested people to not spread hate. He also spoke about how over the years it’s become difficult for artists to stay focused on their craft as “someone, somewhere, is going to spin the narrative to their liking and create more division.”
