Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut reacted to the ragging hijab controversy in Karnataka on Thursday. Sharing her views on the matter on Instagram stories, Ranaut wrote: “If you want to show courage, show it by not wearing burqua (headscarf/hijab) in Afghanistan. Learn to break free, not cage yourself.”
The Manikarnika actor re-shared a post which had a collage of two contrasting photos of women. One image in the collage showed a group of women in swimwear and the other showed them in burqas. The photo was captioned, “Iran. 1973 and now. From bikini to burqa in fifty years flat. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
