Actor and BJP MP from Mandi, Kangana Ranaut, found herself at the center of a political storm after she posted a controversial tweet reacting to former US President Donald Trump’s recent comments about discouraging Apple CEO Tim Cook from building plants in India. She later deleted it.
In the tweet, Kangana took a strong swipe at Trump, defending Prime Minister Narendra Modi and suggesting that Trump’s remarks stemmed from “personal jealousy or diplomatic insecurity.” She went on to call PM Modi “sab alpha male ka baap” — a statement that quickly drew both support and criticism online. However, shortly after the post went live, Kangana revealed that she received a call from BJP National President J.P. Nadda, who advised her to delete the tweet. Obeying party instructions, she promptly took it down from Twitter and Instagram.
Her original tweet read:
What could be the reason of this love loss?
1) He is American president but world’s most loved leader is Indian Prime Minister. 2) Trump’s second term but Indian Prime Minister’s third term. 3) undoubtedly Trump is alpha male but our PM is sab Alpha male ka baap. What do you think? This is personal jealousy or diplomatic insecurity?

In the follow-up tweet, she wrote, “Respected national president Shri @JPNadda ji called and asked me to delete the tweet I had posted regarding Trump asking Apple CEO Tim Cook not to manufacture in India. I regret posting that very personal opinion of mine, as per instructions I immediately deleted it from Instagram as well. Thanks.”

Despite her efforts to retract the statement, screenshots of the original tweet have already gone viral across social media.
Meanwhile, on May 12, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered his first address to the nation since the launch of Operation Sindoor on May 7, India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack. His speech came just two days after India and Pakistan agreed to cease all military actions on land, air, and sea with immediate effect.
Soon after, Kangana Ranaut praised PM Modi for his ‘unmatched courage and wisdom’ just minutes after his powerful speech. The Bollywood actress also called him ‘a great leader’. Taking to X, (formerly known as Twitter), Kangana wrote, “Dear Prime Minister ji, you led us with unmatched courage, wisdom, and unwavering commitment and compassion for the nation. A great leader in every sense #Modi.”
