Urmila responds to Kangana's insult

Urmila made a reference to the slur that was used against Kangana by a Shiv Sena leader in the recent past, and how appalled she was when that happened. “Today, as I am spoken about like this by another woman, which level should that be going to? It really fails me,” she said, asking if those who opposed the slurs used for Kangana also condemn the actor’s comment.

Kangana had launched a personal attack on Urmila on Wednesday, in an interview to Times Now. She had called her a ‘soft p#rn actor’, a comment which was massively criticised by several prominent Bollywood personalities. Urmila said that she was ‘deeply touched’ by the kind of response that ‘the people of this country’ gave her. “They are aghast and completely in shock as to what has happened,” Urmila said about the response she received, adding that she is waiting for the National Commission for Women to take a stand.

“It is very disheartening to see someone talking not only about little old me, but also Jaya ji, who has been an MP for so many years, and has raised her voice or so many issues. Someone like her being spoken to like that, her career, her children...” she said, adding that she would like to bring people’s attention to the fact that India has crossed the five million Covid-19 cases mark. “That’s what I was I was talking about, I had no interest in making comments about Kangana,” she said.
