For those who don't know, Kangana never gives up the chance to make news online by taking a stand on a political issue. On her Instagram account, she frequently insults and teases Bollywood stars, notably the 'Nepo-gang,' as she refers to them.

Speaking on the most recent news, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub spoke candidly about working with Kangana Ranaut, whose political views he disagrees with, in a recent interview. He said, “Her politics weren’t as clear during Manikarnika… She called me to her house, told me about the role, and said it was a five-day job. The money was good, and I wasn’t aware at the time about the controversy with Sonu Sood. We had a good time during those five days. It wasn’t awkward. But we haven’t spoken since. After I discovered these political differences, we haven’t met.”

Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub further stated, “My minimum requirement from people is that they don’t justify the deaths of others, that they don’t say that lynchings used to happen earlier as well… If you say things like this, then sorry, I can’t sit across from you. I’m open to having rational discussions, but the moment someone asks weren’t people dying earlier as well, weren’t massacres happening, is where I draw the line. I can sit across from humans. I don’t even want to call such people animals because animals are actually lovely.”
