Kangana Ranaut has stirred controversy once again with her recent post. On Saturday, January 17, 2026, the actor-politician took to her Instagram Stories to share an incident involving famous designer Masaba Gupta.
Responding to the recent comments of prejudice in Bollywood made by music composer AR Rahman, Kangana talked about a time Masaba denied her label's saree to the actor. Kangana wanted to wear Masaba's design to Ram Mandir in Ayodha and the designer allegedly told the actor's stylist not to let her wear the saree if she was going to Ram Janmbhoomi.
Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram on Saturday to share the time she felt humiliated after fashion designer Masaba Gupta allegedly refused to give her label's saree to Kangana Ranaut because she had planned to visit Ayodhya's Ram Mandir wearing that. Kangana shared that it was too late to change, and was asked to not tag the label on her social media.
Kangana's shared the incident writing, "Forget films, the big designers who begged me to launch their jewellery and clothes in free fund ka campaigns because they claimed to be my best friends later refused to send my stylist clothes. They stopped talking to me or posting about me".
She added, "But one instance I will never forget is when I was wearing Masaba Gupta saree for Ram Janmbhoomi, and she told the stylist that I can't go to Ram Janmbhoomi in her saree. I had already left from Lucknow for Ayodhya and it was not possible to change. I felt so humiliated and degraded that I quietly cried in my car. Later like other designers she told the stylist not to mention her or her brand's name. Today AR Rahman ji shedding crocodile tears what about their own hate and prejudices?"
She later doubled on her claims when later on Saturday, she made a post on her X account after her previous post sparked debate.
"Those days Tejas was about to release so I wanted to go for Ramjanm Bhumi darshan, I requested the same stylist who was styling me for Tejas events (they are hired by the production houses ) to help me with the darshan trip as well...Masaba sent the clothes to the stylist for my promotions but when she was told it’s for Ram Janmbhoomi she told the stylist not to use her clothes", she claimed.
Kangana Ranaut further added, "I was ready and was on my way to Ram Janmbhoomi but it was too much to process. The hate the bitterness the prejudice, ewwww how ugly !! Still makes me sick to my stomach !!".
