Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut spoke candidly about a past incident, making it clear that she continues to feel strongly about it even today. Recalling an episode from earlier in her career, Kangana revealed that she was once advised against wearing clothes designed by fashion designer Masaba Gupta. She had first brought up the issue earlier in the day through a series of Instagram Stories, where she hinted at the experience and expressed her discomfort over being subjected to such advice.
Following the many questions raised over the shocking example shared by Kangana Ranaut, the actor addressed the issue further by adding more comments through her X account. She wrote, "Designers get very excited whenever their brands get seen on celebrities, have you seen Masaba or her brand handles use these images ? These images were all over the Internet. Can you explain why won’t she use these images or why won’t the stylist tag her? Those days Tejas was about to release so I wanted to go for Ramjanm Bhumi darshan, I requested the same stylist who was styling me for Tejas events (they are hired by the production houses ) to help me with the darshan trip as well."

She went on to add, "I don’t care many stylists and designers have banned me from their handles as well but this particular incidence hurt me the most, because Masaba sent the clothes to the stylist for my promotions but when she was told it’s for Ram Janmbhoomi she told the stylist not to use her clothes, stylist is a very kind and genuine woman she was so embarrassed that she discreetly told me not to tag Masaba or her brand and mentioned that she has already paid for the sari from her own pocket so not to feel bad about it but by the time I got to know about all this it was too late, I was ready and was on my way to Ram Janmbhoomi but it was too much to process. The hate the bitterness the prejudice, ewwww how ugly !! Still makes me sick to my stomach !!"
For the unversed, Kangana Ranaut had earlier shared a detailed account of the incident through her Instagram Stories. Recalling the experience, she said that while she was wearing a Masaba Gupta saree for a visit to Ram Janmabhoomi, the designer reportedly informed her stylist that Kangana could not wear her saree for the occasion. By the time this was conveyed, Kangana had already left Lucknow for Ayodhya, making it impossible for her to change her outfit. She described feeling deeply humiliated by the situation, adding that she quietly cried in her car as a result.
Kangana further claimed that later, much like other designers, Masaba Gupta asked the stylist not to mention her or her brand’s name. She also questioned what she termed as hypocrisy within the industry, referring to "hate and prejudices" while commenting on AR Rahman "shedding crocodile tears".
On the professional front, Kangana was last seen in Emergency, where she portrayed the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
