Kangana you keep shining...: NCW says it is 'appalled' by Congress' Supriya Shrinate's post. What we know so far

Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut's candidature from the Mandi constituency of Himachal Pradesh for the upcoming erupted in a political controversy after Congress leader Suprita Shrinate shared an objectionable post against the BJP candidate on Instagram.

“Can someone tell what is the current rate in Mandi (market)?" the post read, next to a picture of Kangana Ranaut who was fielded by the Bharatiya Janata Party from Mandi, her home state.

Reacting to the post, said, “Dear Supriya ji, In the last 20 years of my career as an artist I have played all kinds of women. From a naive girl in Queen to a seductive spy in Dhaakad, from a goddess in Manikarnika to a demon in Chandramukhi, from a prostitute in Rajjo to a revolutionary leader in Thalaivii."

The BJP candidate said every woman deserves dignity and people should free their daughters from the shackles of prejudices, and rise above the curiosity about their body parts.

“We must refrain from using sex workers challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur…," she added.

The National Commission for Women (NCW) condemned Shrinate's post against Kangana in a letter sent to the (ECI). It called for ‘strict action’ against the Congress spokesperson and party leader HS Ahir for their derogatory social posts against the actor.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), NCW wrote, “NCW is appalled by the disgraceful conduct of Ms. Supriya Shrinate and Mr HS Ahir. Such behaviour is intolerable and goes against the dignity of women. (NCW chief) Rekha Sharma has sent a letter to ECI demanding immediate and strict against them. Let's uphold respect and dignity for all women."

“You (Kangana) are a fighter and shining star. Keep shining, all the best. Writing to ECI," Sharma wrote
