Kangana Ranaut’s comment on 2012 gang rape has drawn flak on social media. The actress, who was at an event related to her upcoming film ‘Panga’, was asked her view on the verdict and she was extremely bold. The Delhi court has issued a death warrant against the four convicts and they will be executed on February 1.
Speaking at the promotional event of ‘Panga’, Kangana Ranaut said, “That lady (Jaising) should be kept in jail with those convicts for four days...Women like them give birth to these kind of monsters and murderers.” She was speaking against the statement of senior lawyer Indira Jaising.

Bengali actress Swastika Mukherjee criticized Kangana Ranaut for showing disrespect towards women and tweeted, “This is wrong in so many ways. MOTHERS of rapists are to be blamed for the rapes their sons commit ? You have the power of voicing your opinion #KangnaRanaut and this is how you do it? Misogyny is written all over it & so much disrespect for women.”

The row started after senior lawyer Indira Jaising said that Nirbhaya mother should forgive rapists. This comment of her did not well with many and she was trolled badly. Nirbhaya (a name given by nation) was brutally gang-raped in a moving bus in Delhi in 2012. There was a delay in the verdict which also drew flak on the social media.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Swastika Mukherjee will be next seen in director Arjunn Dutta’s next film ‘Guldasta’. The film will see two actresses Arpita Chatterjee, Swastika Mukherjee sharing screen together for the first time. The film is a women-centric film which will feature three female characters in the central role.
