Kangana Ranaut who is known for her bold and outspoken personality, sparked another controversy today after she made another embarrassing gaffe calling Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker an "idiot of a man" after falling for a humorous spoof video.
The whole incident began with a Twitter user named Vasudev sharing a video covering the topic of a diplomatic row sparked after the controversial remarks made by two suspended BJspokespersonson. In the video, Vasudev talked about how MF Hussain was given refugee by Qatar after he painted a nude portrait of a Hindu Goddess. This made netizens go crazy out anger and looking at the anger among the netizens, Twitter blocked Vashudev’s account.
But the video clip released by Vasudev had already gone viral by the time his account got blocked. Later using Vashudev’s video, another Twitter user made a spoof video by dubbing Akbar Al Baker’s interview with Al Jazeera. Packed with some sarcastic jibes, the user made the video sound as if Akbar is personally pleading with Vashudev to call off the boycott.

"This is a special kind of boycott because it is b-y-c-o-t-t. Vashudev Habibi, we are willing to give you one whole plane to make your TikTok videos or maybe we can give you two litres of petrol free," the voiceover in the dubbed video said.
Falling prey for the video, Kangana Ranaut took no time to react to this video. Believing in the video, she called out and lashed netizens for Cheering Akbar.
"All so-called Indians who are cheering this bully for making fun of a poor man remember this is exactly why you all are a big bojh (burden) on this overpopulated country," she said in one of her Instagram stories.
"Vasudev may be poor and insignificant for a rich man like you but he has the right to express his grief, pain, and disappointment in whatever context it may be... remember there is a world beyond this world where we all are equal...," she followed up in the next story.
But soon netizens called her out and brutally trolled her believing the spoof video. Releasing her mistake, Kangana soon took down her story.
16 countries, including Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Malaysia, the UAE, Jordan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bahrain, Maldives, Libya, Turkiye, and Indonesia have lodged official protests against India over the controversial remarks made by ex-BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma.
