Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut is once again at the centre of social media debate after a viral Instagram post, followed by her clarification, sparked speculation that she was indirectly alluding to fellow actress Sonakshi Sinha.

The controversy erupted after a viral screenshot alleged that Kangana Ranaut had liked an Instagram post criticizing an unnamed actress for reportedly voicing support during the CJP protest but staying silent about the ongoing student protests in Jharkhand.The post read, "Naam nhi lunga par ek moti jihadi neet protest pe kud kud kar video bana rahi thi par jharkhand protest ke time muh band hai. #Guesswho?"

Shortly after the screenshot went viral, Kangana used her Instagram story to refute claims that she had liked the post, labelling the allegation as fake. Yet, in the process of denying it, the actress posted a cryptic note that has now sparked new speculation online.

She wrote, "There are many fake news that are doing rounds, this like of mine is also fake I never body shame anyone but I have noticed an actress who dresses and speaks like a pocket maar these days she wears half pants and ulta cap and talks like a jebkatra while passionately promoting gutterchap behaviour of protestors, I always feel how you dress in a relationship is a direct reflection of how you feel, dear fellow actress if your man is making you feel like a jebkatra I am sorry, you used to dress and speak so elegantly what happened to you? Opinions are yours but you can do better with that styling of yours if you need some help I am always there for you (sic)."

Although Kangana did not mention anyone by name, several social media users believed the remarks were aimed at Sonakshi.

The actress has neither confirmed nor denied these claims, and Kangana's Instagram story also did not identify the person she was referring to.

As of now, Sonakshi has not reacted to either the viral post or Kangana's statement.
