Kangana Ranaut defends 'lomdi' attack, slams Shah's Pakistan stance
Kangana Ranaut escalates attack on Naseeruddin Shah after ‘lomdi’ remark, asks ‘Why Pakistan ki prem katha continues?’ · livemint.com

A famous actress named Kangana Ranaut is having a big argument with another famous actor named Naseeruddin Shah.

Kangana is not just an actress - she is also a member of parliament in India.

She called Shah a 'lomdi,' which means fox, because she says he made a rude video and always talks about loving another country called Pakistan.

Kangana thinks people who make movies are being unfair because they cried for some protestors but ignore children in another part of the country.

She said many people gathered outside her home, so police had to come, and her family could not sleep.

The argument started when another actor asked why Shah said nothing about students in Jharkhand.

Kangana shared that question and added her own angry message.

She says she is proud to defend the country she lives in and calls loyalty a compliment.

Shah and others in the film industry seem to see things differently.

The fight is really about what it means to be loyal to your country.
