Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is fasting during the Navratri season. She loves to share updates with her fans and did the same on social media recently. On the eighth day of Navratri, Durga Ashtami, the Manikarnika actress posted a picture of the mouth-watering Prasad prepared at her home. This day, the devotees worship Mahagauri- a form of Goddess Durga. The actress shared that she is fasting, with a picture of the prasad. In return, Ranaut got brutally trolled on Twitter.
The Queen actress tweeted a picture, and wrote, “Imagine to be fasting on ashtami when parsadam in your house looks like this .... अष्टमी की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ .” The picture features a plate filled with Puri, some Halwa, boondi raita and a bowl with sliced onions and green chillies placed. Reacting to this, netizens expressed their fury. One user called Kangana “Anti-Hindu” and tweeted, “And First Rule of Navratri is Ban on Garlic and ONION Aur yeh Fast me Khaa Rahi Hai Anti Hindu” Another user asked, “Onions kon khata hai fast main?” Many social media users reacted to the post and questioned Kangana’s values.
Take a look at the reactions below:

Kangana too was surprised as Onions became the top trend. She tweeted, "Can’t believe #Onion is one of the top trends. Well this is not to hurt anyone but the beauty of Hinduism is that it’s not rigid like other religions, let’s not ruin that, I am fasting today if my family wants to eat salad with parsadam let’s not ridicule them #Onion #navratri202" Also Read: Sonam Kapoor Pledges To Put Her Social Media To Good Use; Helps People Amidst Trying Times Of Coronavirus And Amplifies Netizens Request For Help

Meanwhile, for the unversed, the netizens reacted in such a way because consuming onions or garlic is prohibited during the nine days of Navratri. As per traditions, on Durga Ashtami, the devotees begin their day by taking bath, wearing new clothes and praying to the goddess. After the Puja is performed, a traditional bhog of puri, halwa and black chana (black chickpeas) is offered to the goddess along with other items.
