Ever since her permanent suspension from Twitter for her remarks that could have enticed violence, actor Kangana Ranaut and her team are now facing a new round of boycotting. 

This time around, by celebrated fashion designers.

Ever since the news of her Twitter account getting suspended broke out, notable designers like Rimzim Dadu & Anand Bhushan have put up statements, saying that going forth neither of them will be associated with any project that involves the actress.

Delhi-based designer Anand Bhushan took to social media to share a post, stating that he no longer would be associated with her for any project whatsoever and urged the other designers to think twice before associating with the actor.

Designer Rimzim Dadu shared a post on her social media and wrote, "Never too late to do the right thing! We are removing all posts of past collaborations from our social channels and pledge to not engage in any future association with her."

Furthermore, they also said that they are actively removing all photographs of their previous collaborations with Kangana and other similar content from their timelines. 

As if this wasn’t a big “egg on the face” moment for Kangana’s team, her sister, and manager, Rangoli Chandel, put up a post, trying to bash Anand Bhushan as someone who was trying to cash in on someone else’s fame.

Anand Bhushan, savagely shut Rangoli down, by sharing an old Femina cover, where Rangoli is actually wearing clothes designed and created by Bhushan.

As if all this wasn’t enough, Rangoli then put up a story on her feed, saying that she would be filing a lawsuit against Anand Bhushan, alleging that “this small-time designer" is using India’s top actress’ name to promote himself.”

For people who are unaware of what has been going on, Kangana put up a tweet, asking Prime Minister to intervene and impose President’s Rule in Bengal, citing post-election violence. 

While doing so, she referred to the 2002 Gujarat riots in a discrete manner.

Twitter saw this as a call to riot and violence and therefore suspended her account permanently. 

As is usual, Kangana saw herself as the victim in all this, and gave this incident a colonial colour, stating that Twitter is a “white” man’s platform, and saying, “A white person feels entitled to enslave a brown person.”
