Kangana Ranaut praises Javed Akhtar's remark

Kangana Ranaut offered rare praise to Javed Akhtar, whose recent comments about the 26/11 attacks, made before a gathering in Pakistan, she welcomed whole-heartedly. Akhtar had earlier filed a defamation case against Ranaut.

At the event, Javed made a statement about the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, and said that Indians must not forget that the perpetrators of the attacks were Pakistani. Addressing the gathering in Urdu, he said, “The attackers weren’t from Norway, or from Egypt. They are still present in your country, so you should not be offended if an Indian complains about this.” He also said that while India has hosted several Pakistani artists in the past, Pakistan has never hosted singer Lata Mangeshkar.

Praising the act Kangana tweeted along with a clip of Javed making the statement, “Jab main Javed saab ki poetry sunti hoon toh lagta tha yeh kaise Maa Saraswati ji ki in pe itni kripa hai, lekin dekho kuch toh sachchai hoti hai insaan mein tabhi toh khudai hoti hai unke saath mein. Jai Hind. Ghar mein ghuss ke maara.. ha ha. (Whenever I listen to Javed Saab's poetry I feel like Goddess Saraswati has indeed blessed him, but see there must be some truth within a person that is why divinity resides within him. Jai Hind. He made them listen to the truth in their own land.”

This turn of events have taken fans by surprise, given the earlier feud between the two. Javed had earlier filed a defamation complaint against the actor in November 2020
