# Kangana Ranaut questions Bollywood’s ‘love affair’ with Pakistan 2026-08-12T23:04:17+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut has defended calling Naseeruddin Shah a 'lomdi' (fox) and accused Bollywood of a 'perpetual obsession' with Pakistan. In an interview with ANI, she said filmmakers were 'answerable' for their 'love story' with the neighbour, decades after Partition. She also hit out at industry 'hypocrisy', saying stars shed 'crocodile tears' over student protests at Jantar Mantar but stayed silent on children in Jharkhand facing similar oppression. Ranaut's remark followed her Instagram post where she wrote that Shah 'eats from this land but fights for the neighbouring country'. Shah had previously criticised alleged police brutality against NEET protestors at Jantar Mantar. Neither source reports a response from Shah or other Bollywood figures to Ranaut's latest comments. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Bollywood, film controversy, Kangana Ranaut, Pakistan, Partition Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/kangana-ranaut-slams-bollywoods-obsession-with-pakistan-ahead-of-batwara-1947/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
