Urmila Matondkar thanked "real people of India" for supporting her

Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar has thanked film stars and others who have supported her stand after actress Kangana Ranaut called her a "soft porn star" of the 90s in a television interview.

Matondkar on September 18, tweeted, "Thank you the “Real People of India” and a rare breed of unbiased, dignified media for standing by me. It’s Your victory over fake IT trolls n propaganda. Deeply touched..humbled."

Matondkar, like many other actors, criticized Kangana for calling Mumbai "Pakistan-occupied Kashmir". Matondkar also alleged that her statement on nepotism and the use of illegal drugs in Bollywood was incorrect.

In response to that, Kangana called Matondkar a "soft porn star" in a television interview.

However, many actors came forward in support of Matondkar for her "grace and dignity" in 25 years' career.
