Setting aside rumours and saying she is proud to be Hindu, BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh and actor Kangana Ranaut on Monday clarified that she “doesn’t consume beef”.

“I don’t consume beef or any other kind of red meat, it is shameful that completely baseless rumours are being spread about me,” she said in a post on X.

“I have been advocating and promoting yogic and ayurvedic way of life for decades now such tactics won’t work to tarnish my image. My people know me and they know that I am a proud Hindu and nothing can ever mislead them, Jai Shri Ram,” she added.
