Kubbra Sait, Reema Kagti on Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel’s Twitter ouster

On Thursday, the film fraternity woke up to the shocking news that Twitter had closed down  Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel’s account after her highly objectionable comments targeting a particular community. Among those who brought Ms Chandel’s offensive comments to the Twitter officials’ notice were actor Kubbra Sait and director Reema Kagti. They were understandably relieved at Thursday’s turn of events.

When I contacted Kubbra Sait, last seen making a sizeable impact on Sacred Games and as Saif Ali Khan’s love interest in Jawani Jaaneman, said, “What she has been tweeting about now and in the past are statements lacking empathy, creating disharmony.” Referring to Rangoli’s remarkably  insensitive suggestion that clerics and other religious  heads of a particular community be eliminated  Nazi-style, Kubbra said, “She thinks it’s okay to refer to being a Nazi and (perpetrating) genocide. Whoever from whatever faith, how is it justified to say they should be made to stand in line and shot and killed?”

Reema Kagti also agreed that Rangoli’s aggression had to be stopped. “When you have close to a hundred thousand followers, you need to conduct yourself and your words with responsibility.”
