What is the story about?
Actress and politician Kangana Ranaut has always spoken her heart out and been unafraid to ruffle feathers in a beautiful but brutal industry. Ranaut recently gave her take on music composer and singer AR Rahman's controversial and debatable communal remark. The actress has now gone back in time and spoken about a bitter experience with Neena Gupta's daughter and designer Masaba Gupta.
Kangana Ranaut revealed, "Masaba sent the clothes to the stylist for my promotions but when she was told it’s for Ram Janmbhoomi she told the stylist not to use her clothes, stylist is a very kind and genuine woman she was so embarrassed that she discreetly told me not to tag Masaba or her brand."
The actress added, "And mentioned that she has already paid for the sari from her own pocket so not to feel bad about it but by the time I got to know about all this it was too late, I was ready and was on my way to Ram Janmbhoomi but it was too much to process. The hate the bitterness the prejudice, ewwww how ugly !! Still makes me sick to my stomach !!"
On the AR Rahman row
Taking to Instagram, Ranaut wrote, “Dear @arrahman ji, I face so much prejudice and partiality in the film industry because I support a saffron party yet I must say I have not come across a man more prejudiced and hateful than you.” She went on to allege that Rahman had declined to even meet her to discuss Emergency.
“I desperately wanted to narrate my directorial Emergency to you. Forget narration, you even refused to meet me. I was told you don’t want to be part of a propaganda film,” she wrote on Instagram. “Ironically,
Emergency was called a masterpiece by all critics. Even opposition party leaders sent me fan letters appreciating the film for its balanced and compassionate approach but you are blinded by your hate. I feel sorry for you #emergency.”

Designers get very excited whenever their brands get seen on celebrities, have you seen Masaba or her brand handles use these images ? These images were all over the Internet. Can you explain why won’t she use these images or why won’t the stylist tag her?
Those days Tejas was…
