With an endearing mix of innocence and stubborn determination, he embraced the nickname, even taking it to Parliament. But fast forward to a recent Wednesday evening, and Pappu now the leader of the opposition-threw down a challenge to Prime Minister Modi, demanding a response to Kangana Ranaut's call for the reinstatement of the controversial farm laws.
Yes, that Kangana - Bollywood's queen of controversy now dabbling in politics with all the subtlety of a prima donna.
Kangana, it seems, has an uncanny knack for turning personal opinions into national debates. After expressing her support for bringing back the farm laws repealed in 2021, she quickly backtracked in classic Kangana fashion. "My views on the farm laws are personal," she declared, as if the collective national shrug was her cue to drop the mic. Naturally, her political party, the BJP, was quick to clarify they hadn't signed off on this unexpected plot twist.
But if you thought this was a rare retreat for the Bollywood-turned-political maverick, you clearly don't know Kangana. Just a month ago, BJP President J.P. Nadda had gently okay, maybe not so gently-advised her to dial down the drama while promoting her upcoming film Emergency. But telling Kangana to stay quiet is like asking a tornado to take a nap. We all know it's not happening.
