    Sharing one of her old tweets which stated that there was nothing wrong in consuming meat, one user wrote, “Liar! Explain how you were openly supporting beef a few years ago. Beef eaters & supporters should stay away from the sacred land of Himachal. No matter what, the people of Mandi will defeat you with over a lakh votes..” Another shared the tweet and wrote, “Was this you or your body double? Or perhaps Hrithik did this to you!”

    Another user shared a screenshot of one of her 2021 tweets in which she gushes about being served ‘laal maas’ ( one of the meat-based dishes of Rajasthan) on her trip to Rajasthan, and commented, “I don't eat red meat .. Meanwhile 2021 tweet..”

    However, some users were supportive. One advised the actress not to pay attention to detractors. “You shouldn't get bothered about such baseless rumors. Don't drain your energy, Kangana Mam. Yes, the people who support you, they know you …” reads the comment.
