Kangana Ranaut Deletes Post Comparing PM Modi to Donald Trump, Expresses Regret

Actor and BJP MP from Mandi Kangana Ranaut was embroiled in a political storm after allegedly posting a controversial reaction to the recent comments by US President Donald Trump discouraging Apple CEO Tim Cook from setting up plants in India. She would go on to delete it.

In her reproachful tweet, Kangana defended Prime Minister Narendra Modi while in turn disparaging Trump, saying the statement arose out of "personal jealousy or diplomatic insecurity." Yet she went on to call PM Narendra Modi "sab alpha male ka baap" — a phrase that generated both applause and opprobrium online. But shortly after the post went online, Kangana claimed she received a call from BJP National President J.P. Nadda telling her to delete it, which she fortunately did immediately, as per party instructions, from both Twitter and Instagram.

What could have come between these two lovebirds?

1. He is American President and the Prime Minister is world-famous and adored leader.
2. It is Trump's second term but the Indian Prime Minister's third.
3. Without any doubt, Trump is alpha male, but whose boss is our PM? Is this personal jealousy or diplomatic insecurity?

There were multiple attempts to delete the post, but the original tweet, and its screenshots, are now traveling the internet at lightning speed.

But on May 12, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to the nation in the first media address since the commencement of Operation Sindoor (India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack) on May 7. The PM's address came only two days after India and Pakistan agreed to stop all military activity on land, air and sea effective immediately.

Shortly thereafter, Kangana Ranaut tweeted and praised PM Modi for his "peerless courage and wisdom", within minutes of his fiery speech. She also noted that he is "a great leader". The Bollywood actress also called him ‘a great leader’. Taking to X, (formerly known as Twitter), Kangana wrote, “Dear Prime Minister ji, you led us with unmatched courage, wisdom, and unwavering commitment and compassion for the nation. A great leader in every sense #Modi."
