Kangana further called Shah a ‘lomdi (fox)’ and added that she would rather prefer being called a dog. “P.S. In today’s time it’s a compliment for humans to be called dog because loyalty and cuteness is so rare. I rather be a dog than a lomdi like Nasiruddin.”

Kangana Ranaut’s Instagram Story

Earlier, while talking to the media during the Jharkhand student protest, Piyush Mishra had reacted to Naseeruddin’s earlier remarks “Naseer Sahab, you had said during the CJP protest that some people from the film industry weren’t speaking up for the students protesting at Jantar Mantar. You said those who have bones in their mouths, they don’t speak. With all due respect, I would like to ask you, which are the other dogs who can’t speak?” he said.

What Naseeruddin Shah said about Bollywood

Kangana Ranaut and Piyush Mishra’s comments were in response to Shah’s comments addressing the silence of many Bollywood celebs over CJP-led student protests. “They’ll do it when their conscience tells them to. There’s a saying: a dog with a bone in his mouth can’t bark. As soon as the bone drops out of their mouth, or it breaks their teeth, then they will bark.” The veteran actor’s analogy subsequently resurfaced when Piyush Mishra spoke in support of students protesting in Ranchi over alleged irregularities in government recruitment exams.
