When politics took a day off: Kangana, Mahua and Supriya’s dance rehearsal breaks the Internet
If anything, the viral rehearsal has offered a peek into true nature of politics: fierce at the mic, friendly on the dance floor
PTC Web Desk: In a plot twist that even daily soaps couldn’t script, Kangana Ranaut was spotted shaking a leg with Mahua Moitra and Supriya Sule, yes, the same leaders who often torch each other in speeches. The photo, clicked during the sangeet practice for industrialist-politician Naveen Jindal’s daughter’s pre-wedding festivities, has left social media users feeling things they didn’t ask for.
The trio seemed to be enjoying the rehearsal, smiling as if the political battlefield doesn’t exist until Monday morning. Netizens, however, were quick to pull out their magnifying glasses. “Hypocrisy doing Bhangra,” one wrote, while another insisted that Indian politics is just “one big friends’ reunion that voters aren’t invited to.”
Some kinder souls defended the unlikely dance trio, reminding everyone that politicians are allowed to have friends, hobbies and rhythm, even if voters have been trained to believe otherwise. “In Parliament they roar, but outside they choreograph,” a user quipped, summing up the vibe.
Jindal, whose guest list is clearly capable of uniting those who can’t agree on a lunch menu in Parliament, has long maintained connections across party lines. From Congress MP to BJP leader, his political journey itself could pass off as a sangeet remix.
Kangana, who shared the picture herself, has unsurprisingly found her way back into controversy. Critics pointed out that Moitra and Sule, known for attacking the BJP, appeared perfectly comfortable dancing with a BJP MP who rarely hesitates to take verbal shots at them online. But then again, as many users said, real battles only happen on TV; real bonding happens at weddings.
