A false statement attributed to Naseeruddin Shah mocking PM Modi and Kangana Ranaut becomes popular online.
According to veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, it seems like Kangana Ranaut has issues with every other actor except for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This statement has been making rounds on social media, but upon further investigation, it turns out to be false.

Newschecker, a fact-checking platform, decided to look into this viral quote and found that there are no credible news reports or records of Shah ever making such a statement. After a thorough keyword search, they traced the earliest instance of this quote to a parody Twitter account, @naseruddin_shah, which had been active on February 9, 2021. However, the account has since been deleted.

It was also discovered that this particular fake Twitter account of the actor had been called out by several media outlets back in February 2021 for spreading misinformation about the farmers' protests. Articles from reputable sources such as NDTV and others clearly state that Shah does not have a Twitter account, and his wife, veteran actor Ratna Pathak Shah, has even clarified this fact.

This misleading tweet has been circulating on social media, causing confusion and spreading false information. In fact, it has been debunked by various sources, including Newschecker and OrissaPOST, who have republished the story as part of the Shakti Collective. It is important to fact-check information before sharing it, as it can have harmful consequences and lead to the spread of fake news.
