Actress Kangana Ranaut on Tuesday requested the government to take back the Padma Shri honour that has been conferred on filmmaker Karan Johar. On the actress’s verified account, @KanganaTeam, she re-shared a post related to Johar’s latest production Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl.

On August 16, Kangana took a dig at Karan Johar and his latest production based on Air Force woman pilot Gunjan Saxena through a poem. Earlier she had slammed the Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl via tweets posted by her team. It’s not just Kangana, but several others have also attacked the film.

The tweet was in reference to Flight Lieutenant Srividya Rajan, who was Gunjan Saxena’s course-mate at the Udhampur Air Force base. In the tweet, it was also mentioned that it was not Saxena but Rajan who was the first woman to fly to Kargil, and said that a scene —where a female IAF trainee pilot is asked to arm-wrestle with her male counterpart to prove that she is fit for Air Force — is false. The tweet also mentioned the film had twisted facts.

Sharing the tweet, Kangana’s team wrote on Twitter: “I request government of India to take KJO’s Padma Shri back, he openly intimidated me and asked me to leave the industry on an international platform, conspired to sabotage Sushant’s career, he supported Pakistan during Uri battle and now anti-national film...”
