Kangana, who has been vocal in showing her opposition to the protests, took to Twitter to answer to Rihanna. She wrote, ” No one is talking about it because they are not farmers they are terrorists who are trying to divide India, so that China can take over our vulnerable broken nation and make it a Chinese colony much like USA… Sit down you fool, we are not selling our nation like you dummies.”
When a fan reminded Kangana of a tweet in which she had mentioned how she was listening to Rihanna’s hit number, Diamonds, the Panga actor replied, “Oye t***u I took over my account in August last year before that it was a team fan page, mujhe na pop music samajh aata hai nahi main English gaane zyaada sunti hoon. Soja aab ho gaya tera (I don’t understand pop music, I listen to English songs more. Now go and sleep, you are done).”
Meanwhile, Canadian YouTuber Lilly Singh thanked Rihanna for the same. She replied to her, “Yes! Thank you so much @rihanna. This is a humanity issue! #IStandWithFarmers and this narrative is TIRED.”
