Latest in the line of Bollywood personalities to indulge in a war of words with Kangana Ranaut is filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. The Gangs of Wasseypur director asked Kangana Ranaut, who described herself as a warrior, to take on China. In a sarcastic tweet, Kashyap asked her to show them that till the time she is here, no one can harm the nation.
He tweeted, "You are the only one, one and only Manikarnika. You take four-five people with you to China. See how much the Chinese forces have penetrated inside the Indian borders. Show them as long as you are there, nobody can do anything. It is just one day's journey to the LAC from your house. You go lioness, Jai Hind."
बस एक तू ही है बहन - इकलौती मणिकर्णिका । तू ना चार पाँच को ले के चढ़ जा चीन पे।देखो कितना अंदर तक घुस आए हैं । दिखा दे उनको भी कि जब तक तू है इस देश का कोई बाल भी बाँका नहीं कर सकता। तेरे घर से एक दिन का सफ़र है बस LAC का । जा शेरनी। जय हिंद । https://t.co/PZA6EFSKQj

Ranaut is currently staying at her Manali home in Himachal Pradesh.
This tweet by Kashyap came in response to the tweet by the Manikarnika actress where she reiterated her nationalist sentiments. Kangana tweeted, "I am a warrior. I can cut my head, but I cannot bow my head! I will always raise my voice for the honour of the nation. I live with honour, respect, self-respect and will live proudly as a nationalist. I will never compromise with this principle. I will never do it! Jai Hind!"
मैं एक क्षत्राणी हूं। सर कटा सकती हूं, लेकिन सर झुका सकती नहीं! राष्ट्र के सम्मान के लिए हमेशा आवाज़ बुलंद करती रहूंगी। मान, सम्मान, स्वाभिमान के साथ जी हूं और गर्व से राष्ट्रवादी बनकर जीती रहूंगी! सिद्धांत के साथ नहीं कभी समझौता की हूं नहीं कभी करूंगी! जय हिंद ।

In her recent tweets and statements, Ranaut has taken on many Bollywood celebrities. She responded to Samajwadi Party MP and actress Jaya Bachchan after she raised concerns to defame the film industry in the Rajya Sabha. Kangana quipped, "Which thali did Jaya ji and her industry offered to me? I got one thaali in which I used to get two minute roles, item numbers and one romantic scene. That too after sleeping with the hero. I taught feminism to this industry and decorated the thaali with films on women empowerment. This is my own thaali, Jaya ji, not yours."
कौन सी थाली दी है जया जी और उनकी इंडस्ट्री ने? एक थाली मिली थी जिसमें दो मिनट के रोल आइटम नम्बर्ज़ और एक रोमांटिक सीन मिलता था वो भी हेरो के साथ सोने के बाद,मैंने इस इंडस्ट्री को फ़ेमिनिज़म सीखाया,थाली देश भक्ति नारीप्रधान फ़िल्मों से सजाई,यह मेरी अपनी थाली है जया जी आपकी नहीं। https://t.co/lPo9X4hRZX
