Kangana Ranaut recently visited Varanasi and was spotted enjoying the city’s famous street food, tikiya chaat.
Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut has slammed accusations that she littered the streets of Varanasi during her recent visit to the city. Kangana tried the city’s famous street food, Tikiya chole, and was seen putting the empty plate just beside. The video surfaced on social media, where many claimed that the actor was caught tossing the plate on the road. Kangana rebutted this claim and shared a picture to prove she put it in the dustbin and not on the road.
What Kangana said
Kangana took to her Instagram Stories to share a picture of her near the tikiya stall from another angle. She drew an arrow on the picture to show that there was a dustbin kept right beside the shop, where the used paper plates were collected. Kangana shared that the truth of the matter is that she also put her own plate in the same dustbin. “Verify facts before publishing lies,” she wrote in the caption.
