'Disgracing A Woman For TRP Is Shameful': Kangana Ranaut Backs Folk Singer Neha Singh Rathore In ABP News Controversy

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut defended Bhojpuri folk singer Neha Singh Rathore against accusations of defaming her for the sake of TRP ratings. Ranaut criticized the alleged defamatory coverage of Rathore by ABP News, stating that tarnishing a woman's reputation for television ratings is a shameful act. Despite Rathore's political views often contrasting with her own, Ranaut maintained that defaming a woman without cause for the sake of TRP was wrong.

She urged the head of ABP Network to take responsibility for the report. The controversy began when Rathore accused ABP News of publishing defamatory and inaccurate content about her, alleging she had been portrayed as a call girl and prostitute. ABP Network later issued an apology for the factual error, but Rathore rejected it, insisting that publishing defamatory content and later apologizing was insufficient to rectify the harm caused.
