Mumbai, June 8: Actor Kangana Ranaut supported suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, saying she was "entitled to her opinions" amidst the international condemnation over Sharma's controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammad.
"Nupur is entitled to her opinions, I see all kinds of threats targeted at her, when Hindu Gods are insulted which they are almost every day we go to court, pls do that no need to play dons yourself...(sic)" wrote Ranaut.

"... this is not Afghanistan, we have a proper functioning government which is chosen with a process called democracy... just a reminder for those who keep forgetting," she added.
