Kangana Ranaut Takes Jibe At Donald Trump, Later Deletes It - Says Did It On 'JP Nadda's Request'

BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut revealed on Thursday that BJP national president JP Nadda personally contacted her and requested that she delete a social media post she had shared, which referred to remarks made by US President Donald Trump regarding Apple's manufacturing plans in India.

Ranaut's now-deleted post speculated about the reasons behind what she saw as Trump's discomfort with Apple's shift to India, drawing comparisons with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In a statement posted on X, Ranaut said, "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."

The original post, now removed, had 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?"

Ranaut made these remarks in response to US President Donald Trump's comments during a business event in Doha, where he claimed to have urged Apple CEO Tim Cook not to proceed with building in India.

"I said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good. You are coming up with $500 billion, but now I hear you are building all over India. I don't want you building in India. You can build in India, if you want to take care of India because India is one of the highest tariff nations in the world, so it is very hard to sell in India," Trump said.

He did not elaborate on whether the conversation led to any change in Apple's expansion plans within India.
