Kangana calls Vir Das’ monologue ‘soft terrorism’

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actor Kangana Ranaut is the latest celebrity to slam comedian Vir Das for his duality of India monologue, ‘I come from two Indias’, a part of his recent show at the John F Kennedy Center in Washington.

In the six-minute-long video that Vir uploaded on his YouTube channel on Monday, he contrasts the different aspects of India by taking up issues like  its battle against COVID-19, gang rapes, farmers’ protest and more.

Several social media users including politicians have slammed Vir for insulting India in a foreign country. Kangana Ranaut also took to her Instagram story and slammed Vir’s monologue and asked for strict action to be taken against him.

Kangana wrote, “When you generalise that all Indian men are gang-rapists it gives rise and encouragement to racism and bullying against Indians all over the world… After the Bengal Famine Churchill famously said ‘these Indians breed like rabbits they are bound to die like this…’ he blamed Indians’ sex drive/fertility for the death of millions because of hunger… Such creative work targeting an entire race is soft terrorism… strict actions must be taken against such criminals @virdas.”
