Kangana Ranaut calls Bollywood celebs 'shameless' for supporting Black Lives Matter while endorsing fairness products

Several Bollywood celebs such as Priyanka Chopra, Disha Patani and Sonam Kapoor have expressed their disgust against American police brutality and support for the Black Lives Matter movement, which has drawn severe flak from Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut is back to bashing her fellow Bollywood celebrities in entertainment news, and this time, she's venting her ire on them for coming out in support of the Black Lives matter movement despite several of them having endorsed fairness products in the past, with some of them continuing to do so. For the uninitiated, the latest episode of police brutality against individuals of colour in the US, resulting in the death of unarmed George Flyod, has sparked nationwide protests (some justifiably violent in nature) in America and worldwide outrage over US law enforcement wantonly killing coloured citizens since decades for no reason at all.

Several Bollywood celebs such as Priyanka Chopra, Disha Patani and Sonam Kapoor have also expressed their disgust against American police brutality and support for the Black Lives Matter movement, which has drawn severe flak from Kangana Ranaut. In an interview to BBC, she said, “The Indian celebrities, they’ve been endorsing all kinds of fairness products and today shamelessly they stand and say black lives matter, I mean how dare they? Our industry even shies away from casting darker actors for characters that are supposed to be fair-skinned."

Questioning other Bollywood celebs further, the actress asked, "Why is no one asking them about these million-dollar deals that they’ve been doing with all kinds of fairness products and how come suddenly all black lives matter? Racism is deep-rooted, and when you have commercialised such events, that is the lowest humanity can hit.”

Opening up earlier on why she has never endorsed fairness products, Kangana hade said, “My sister (Rangoli Chandel) is dusky, yet beautiful. If I go ahead and be part of this campaign, then, in a way, I would be insulting her. If I can’t do that to my sister, then how can I do it to the entire nation?”

So, do you agree with Kangana Ranaut's " criticism"? Are the two things "related"? Tweet and let us known @bollywood_life
