Mika Singh asks Kangana Ranaut to apologise over farmer protests tweet

Kangana Ranaut had shared a collage of a picture of Mohinder Kaur who participated in the farmer protests, and another of Bilkis Bano, who had even featured in the Time magazine after being a part of the Shaheen Bagh protests. She had mistakenly claimed that they were the same, while adding that the woman was 'available for 100 rupees' to participate in protests. 

Sharing the now-deleted tweet, Mika wrote that he used to have 'immense respect' for Kangana. The Mauja Hi Mauja artist recalled tweeting in her support when a portion of her office was demolished by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.

However, now he regretted that decision. Writing 'shame on you', Mika asked her to apologise to the lady, 'being a woman' and showing etiquette.
