Kangana's post comes after 'rumours' spread online claiming that the actress eats beef. Some users on social media even dug out an old tweet of Kangana from 2019, in which she had written about her yogic lifestyle.
Earlier, Maharashtra's Leader of Opposition, Vijay Wadettiwar, accused Kangana Ranaut of once stating in a tweet that she enjoyed and consumed beef, insinuating controversy over her recent ticket allocation by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the forthcoming elections.
Ranaut, who recently joined BJP, has been nominated as their candidate for the Mandi constituency in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

I feel honoured and elated to officially join the party. I look forward to be a worthy karyakarta and a reliable public servant,"
