Kangana Ranaut Opens Up About Saree Refusal Incident
Bollywood actor and Member of Parliament Kangana Ranaut recently shared a personal story that left her deeply hurt. She recalled an incident involving fashion designer Masaba Gupta. The event occurred just before the release of her film Tejas. Kangana wanted to visit Ram Janmabhoomi for darshan during that time.
The Stylist's Role and Initial Arrangements
Kangana explained her situation in detail. She had requested help from her stylist for the Ram Janmabhoomi trip. This stylist was already working with her for Tejas promotional events. Production houses typically hire such stylists for film promotions. Kangana asked the same stylist to assist with her religious visit as well.
According to Kangana, Masaba Gupta initially sent clothes to the stylist for her film promotions. The stylist selected a saree from Masaba's brand for the Ayodhya visit. Everything seemed arranged until a sudden change occurred.
Masaba's Alleged Refusal and Its Impact
Kangana claimed that Masaba Gupta later refused the saree after learning about the Ram Janmabhoomi event. The designer specifically instructed the stylist not to use her clothes for this purpose. This decision came as a shock to Kangana.
The stylist, described by Kangana as a kind and genuine woman, felt embarrassed by the situation. She discreetly informed Kangana about Masaba's refusal. The stylist even mentioned that she had paid for the saree from her own pocket. She asked Kangana not to tag Masaba or her brand in any posts.
Kangana's Emotional Reaction
By the time Kangana learned about the refusal, it was too late to change her plans. She was already dressed and on her way to Ayodhya from Lucknow. The actor described feeling overwhelmed by the incident. She called it "too much" to process at that moment.
Kangana expressed how the experience made her feel humiliated and degraded. She revealed that she quietly cried in her car during the journey. The actor emphasized that this particular incident hurt her more than others. She mentioned that many stylists and designers have banned her from their social media handles. But Masaba's refusal affected her deeply.
In her social media posts, Kangana wrote about the hate and prejudice she perceived. She stated that the memory still makes her feel sick to her stomach. The actor used strong words like "ewwww how ugly!!" to describe her feelings about the situation.
Social Media Context and Unanswered Questions
Kangana raised questions about brand visibility and celebrity endorsements. She noted that designers usually get excited when celebrities wear their brands. Images from her Ram Janmabhoomi visit were all over the internet. Yet Masaba or her brand handles did not use these pictures according to Kangana.
The actor wondered why the stylist did not tag Masaba's brand. She connected this incident to broader issues of prejudice within the industry. Kangana also referenced AR Rahman's recent comments in her posts, drawing comparisons about hate and biases.
Current Status and Missing Response
Masaba Gupta has not yet responded to Kangana Ranaut's claims. The designer remains silent about the alleged saree refusal incident. This story continues to circulate on social media platforms and news outlets.
Kangana's detailed account emerged after she initially mentioned the incident on Instagram Stories. She shared her feelings of humiliation and the emotional impact of that day. The actor's revelations have sparked discussions about celebrity-designer relationships and personal beliefs in the fashion industry.
