‘A fox like Naseeruddin Shah’: Kangana Ranaut, Piyush Mishra slam ‘dog with a bone’ comment

Veteran actors Naseeruddin Shah and Piyush Mishra have been engaged in a verbal exchange since a student protest in Delhi. Kangana Ranaut, a former actor and BJP MP, has joined the debate on social media. After Mishra criticized Shah for his "dog with a bone" comment after Bollywood stars remained silent during the protests, Kangana backed the former and criticized Shah.

She shared a news report on her Instagram account of Mishra's recent remarks about Shah, referencing his earlier "dog with a bone" comment. In her message, Kangana wrote, "The truth is, everyone is someone's dog, but I am proud that I guard and fight for the home (country) whose bread I eat. Nasir Saab eats the bread of this country, but fights for the neighboring country."

Kangana further referred to Shah as a "fox" and stated that she would rather be called a dog than a fox. Earlier during the Jharkhand student protest, Piyush Mishra expressed his disagreement with Shah's statement from the CJP protest, asking which other dogs could not speak.
