Mumbai: Actress Kangana Ranaut made a special place for herself in the Hindi cinema with her outspokenness and her acting skills. She slammed author Shobhaa De for her tweet on Indian Olympians at Rio. The popular writer Shobhaa De, mocked Indian athletes saying that their aim was only to click selfies and return without any medals. The tweet didn’t go well with many sections of people and Shobhaa received a lot of flak on social media platforms. Kangana Ranaut said that the comment was ‘disheartening’ and ‘disturbing’.
At an event, Kangana said, “It is a very disturbing thing to say to people, who are representing us. It can be also a very personal opinion but being such a credible author and a powerful woman who people look up to, for someone like that saying this is disheartening.”
She added, “It is not a good news, for sure. I hope our athletes don’t get disheartened and we need to do our best.”
On the other hand, the author once again tweeted, “Official apathy main reason why we fare so poorly during every Olympics, not just Rio. Difficult for athletes to ‘compete’ with this hurdle.”
