Kangana Ranaut’s Twitter account has been suspended for 'spreading hate and creating disharmony between communities'. 

Ranaut had said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should go back to his “virat roop" (giant form) from the 2000s, apparently, referencing the 2002 riots in Gujarat, and asked the PM to “tame" TMC chief Mamata Banerjee.

Obviously, this sparked controversy on Twitter following which her account was promptly suspended for good. 

A Twitter spokesperson said, "We’ve been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behaviour that has the potential to lead to offline harm. The referenced account has been permanently suspended for repeated violations of Twitter Rules specifically our Hateful Conduct policy and Abusive Behaviour policy. We enforce the Twitter Rules judiciously and impartially for everyone on our service."

Kangana is known to give it back and she didn’t mince her words in this case too.

Following her suspension, the Queen star issued a statement saying, “Twitter has only proved my point they're Americans & by birth, a white person feels entitled to enslave a brown person, they want to tell you what to think, speak or do. I have many platforms I can use to raise my voice, including my own art in the form of cinema.”

She went on to add, “But my heart goes out to the people of this nation who have been tortured, enslaved, and censored for thousands of years, and still, there is no end to the suffering.”

People have reacted to her statement and said that she needs to stop making racist and communal remarks. 

Following her suspension, people have been flooding Twitter with comments saying that they are happy that she won’t be spreading hate on the platform anymore.

Some even went on to add that they won’t watch her movies anymore.

Violence erupted in West Bengal after the election polls were announced, marking TMC's victory.

Kangana did raise her voice on the matter but not in a responsible manner. She should have toned down her remarks and made her point using her influence to advocate for calm and peace.

Meanwhile, on the work front, she has completed her ambitious biopic, Thalaivi. Based on the life of former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa, the film was slated for a theatrical release this month. 

However, it had to be postponed in wake of the recent surge in coronavirus cases. 

She also has two action films - Tejas and Dhaakad in the pipeline.
