April 8, 2024: Bollywood Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut on Monday clarified that she had neither consumed beef nor any other kind of red meat, saying that she is a "Proud Hindu".

Kangana's post comes after 'rumours' spread online claiming that the actress eats beef. Some users on social media even dug out an old tweet of Kangana from 2019, in which she had written about her yogic lifestyle. However, the post wasn't worded in the first person.

Taking to Twitter, She said, "I don't consume beef or any other kind of red meat, it is shameful that completely baseless rumours are being spread about me, I have been advocating and promoting yogic and Ayurvedic way of life for decades now such tactics won't work to tarnish my image. My people know me and they know that I am a proud Hindu and nothing can ever mislead them, Jai Shri Ram".

Earlier, Maharashtra Leader of Opposition, Vijay Wadettiwar, also alleged that Kangana Ranaut had once tweeted that she liked and consumed beef. The party has now given her a ticket to contest the upcoming elections. Kangana joined BJP recently and the party has fielded her from the Mandi constituency for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
