ctor Kangana Ranaut, who doesn’t shy away from voicing her opinion on political matters, is now facing legal proceedings for sharing a fake Twitter post which showed the ‘Shaheen Bagh dadi’ Bilkis Bano taking part in the farmers’ protest. Kangana, while retweeting the post, alleged that Bilkis Bano was available as a hired protester for Rs 100. An advocate from Mohali, Hakam Singh, has sent Kangana a legal notice for her fake tweet, and has seven days to issue an apology, and failure to do so will amount to a defamation suit. “I sent a legal notice for a tweet misidentifying Ms Mohinder Kaur as Bilkis Bano with an insinuation that she(Ms Kaur) was available as a hired protestor for Rs100. The notice gives Ranaut 7 days to issue an apology failing which a defamation case will be pursued,” Hakam Singh told ANI.
