Kangana Ranaut recently refuted allegations of eating beef, reaffirming her commitment to a vegetarian lifestyle, which she ties to her identity as a “proud Hindu.” This clarification came after Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar, during a rally, mentioned that she was given a BJP ticket despite her past social media comments about consuming beef.
In response, Kangana took to Twitter, dismissing the claims as baseless attempts to tarnish her reputation. However, netizens remain unconvinced, resurfacing an old tweet where she stated there is no harm in eating beef, further fueling the debate.
“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 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,” she said.
After Kangana’s statement circulated, netizens quickly reacted by resurfacing a 2019 tweet in which she mentioned being open to eating beef and other meats, stating that dietary choices aren’t necessarily linked to religion.
Critics accused her of inconsistency, claiming her past comments on eating red meat contradicted her recent statements. However, some fans defended her, arguing that she hadn’t done anything wrong.
One user wrote, “No real Hindu will ever eat or endorse beef like you did” while another user wrote, “Liar! Explain how you were openly supporting beef a few years ago.”
