Kangana Ranaut claims viral image of bodies floating in river is from Nigeria; gets trolled

Kangana Ranaut, who is no stranger to landing in controversy, is once again stirring the pot after posting yet another incriminating video on Instagram in which she claims that the now-viral image of bodies floating down a river in India is actually from Nigeria. 

Talking about and siding with the Israeli offensive against Palestine in the video, Ranaut went on a tirade on how Indians should learn from Israelis on how to come together in times of crisis instead of being divided.

Going off on a tangent per usual, Ranaut turned to reference viral images coming out of India’s COVID-19 crisis, including reports of bodies, believed to be of COVID patients, floating down the Ganges river in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

“As we saw during corona, a picture of an elderly lady on the street with an oxygen mask was widely circulated around the world and it turned out that the image wasn’t even taken during COVID,” claimed the Tanu Weds Manu actor.

That’s not all. She went on to add, “Just yesterday we got to know that the pictures of bodies floating down Ganga are actually from Nigeria.”

In the same video, Ranaut also urged the Indian government to mandate military service for all Indian students, saying, “Hum bhi karna chahte hain, hum bhi karenge (We also want to do it, we will also do it.)”
