The other wave of response to the actor's video is on the opposite end. Reports have come out claiming that Kangana's video was a PR publicity stunt. Kangana's team responded by saying the allegations were really baseless as the actor herself wasn't on social media and didn't care about things as such. They wrote out - “If Ms Ranaut’s focus was on gaining followers, all she had to do was make an account for herself, she chooses not to be on social media, she is arguably the most successful actress & can enjoy a huge following. Even ‘not so successful people on Instagram’ boast of millions of followers, so stop peddling your PR agenda”
