Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, who has always been vocal about her thoughts, defended PM Modi after he got trolled for ‘not knowing how to hold a peg’ after his video with US President Joe Biden went viral.
Kangana Ranaut tweeted, "Kaisa kalyug manushya ke sar par naach raha hai jo ki pashuyo ke maas ya rakt ka ahar nahi karta, jo kabhi dhumrpan ya madira sevan nahi karta; aise bhale manush ko neecha dekhaya ja raha hai ki peg pakad kar hawa mein ghumana nahi aata (What kind of Kaliyuga is dancing on the head of a man, who does not have meat or blood of animals, who never smokes or consumes alcohol; such a good man is being humiliated that he does not know how to hold a peg and swing it in the air)."
She further added, “Alcohol is medically/clinically/scientifically proven in every way to be hundred percent damaging for human system. Kya Joe Biden zameen pe baith ke haath se khana kha sakta hai kya (Can Joe Biden eat food from his hand while sitting on the ground)? Why should our PM bother about things that are beneath his interests and standards?”
In the viral video, PM Modi can be seen laughing without understanding what US President Joe Biden tried to say. One of the Twitter users wrote, “Ever wondered why in most of Modi’s pics with foreign leaders, Modi is laughing hysterically? This video explains the ‘why’ : Biden, while toasting, asked to raise the left hand instead of the right if there’s no alcohol in the glass. ( It’s actually a norm- An unwritten rule ). Narendra Modi, of course, had no idea what Biden was proposing so he did what he does best. Acted as if he got the joke ( It was no joke ) and started laughing before Biden could even finish his sentence. Biden felt offended and said, “ You think I’m kidding !!” And moved on. The whole branding of Modi’s image might have costed millions but if there’s no substance this is what it looks like.”
