Kangana Ranaut Granted Bail Amid Defamation Dispute: A Clash of Perspectives

In a recent court appearance in Punjab's Bathinda, renowned actor and political figure Kangana Ranaut was granted bail in an ongoing defamation case. This case originates from a controversial retweet she shared amid the 2021 farmers' protest, involving Mahinder Kaur, an aged participant in the demonstrations.

Ranaut faced the court on stringent security measures, accompanied by a police escort. She expressed regret over the misunderstanding that ensued from her social media post, reiterating her respect for every 'mata' and clarifying that no personal allegations were made against individuals in her comments.

While Mahinder Kaur was absent during the proceedings, her husband represented her and withheld immediate acceptance of Ranaut's implied apology. The court has scheduled the next hearing for November 24, where further deliberations are expected to unfold.
