The American singer draws global attention to the Indian farmers’ protest, but it seems Kangana Ranaut is not happy about this. The Bollywood actress is facing backlash for her rude captions.

On Tuesday, the world famous singer Rihanna shared a CNN article about Indian farmers’ protest on her Twitter account.

It's undeniable that Rihanna's tweet on farmers' protest draws huge attention to Indian social problems.

The American celebrity suggested people on social media paid more attention to such kind of social issues.

Within less than a day, the tweet from Rihanna has received more than 415 thousand likes and nearly 170 thousand retweets. Many Indian netizens commented on the post to thank the singer for her attention to Indian society.

However, some people also expressed their disapproval of the tweet, citing the serious damage and injuries that protesting farmers were causing to the nation.

Here are some popular comments from Twitter users:

@isaifpatel: Thank you so much Rihanna for raising your voice. With just 6 words you have done much more than many Indian celebrities and athletes put together.

@YourRishbh: We were busy getting medical treatment for Policemen injured by these protesters, once that's done we can start talking about it too.

@FriedrichPieter: rihanna, link arms with johncusack, who has been the only US celebrity warning about this issue of rising fascism in India and who is linked to renowned anti-fascist Indian voices like Arundhati Roy. Please don't stop talking. Let this be only a first step to action.

@runawaygravy: Chal Bhag…everyone knows it’s paid tweet. Maybe u can ask if there is APMC in US

@theruch7: At least she is speaking out and using her platform. If you noticed she said why aren’t we talking about this. You decided the rest.

With Rihanna’s tweet on Indian farmers’ protest, there’s one fact we must admit. Whether people supported the protest or not, they were really discussing it and arguing for what’s right and what’s rong. Rihanna, at least, has successfully brought netizens’ attention to a serious social problem that needs to be addressed timely.

Kangana Ranaut’s reaction to Rihanna & social backlash

Since the beginning of the farmers’ protest, the Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has always turned her back against these manual labors, calling them terrorists. And this time is no different.

Thanks to Rihanna, Kangana found an international rival to gain more attention.

As a response to Rihanna’s tweet, Kangana Ranaut once again used harsh words to attack her enemy. She accused Rihanna of supporting terrorists who were dividing India. Kangana also said USA was taken over by China because of people like Rihanna.

The tweet has gained over 40.5K likes and 10.7K retweets by now. Though many Indian netizens show their support towards Kangana’s statements, the majority of Twitter users slam the bold actress for her rude language which does not give a reasonable argument but only include personal attacks.

Kangana Ranaut's tweet is flooded with memes from netizens.

Some fans even screenshot a tweet in the past where Rihanna liked Kangana Ranaut’s gold sari photo in Cannes 2019. Many think Kangana is destroying Indian image in the world with her impolite behaviours. Instead of replying Rihanna with accurate information or statistics, the Bollywood heroine only attacks her rival with groundless accusations.

Rihanna used to show support for Kangana's Cannes look in 2019.

Before Rihanna, some people who support farmers’ protest are also attacked by Kangana Ranaut. You can read details of Kangana vs Diljit Dosanjh, Kangana vs Priyanka Chopra and Kangana vs Pawant Khera in our previous posts.
