Kangana Ranaut has made yet another bold statement and this time veteran actress Shabana Azmi is at the receiving end. So, we earlier told you how Shabana Azmi, along with husband Javed Akhtar, was supposed to jet off to Karachi for an event organized for her father Kaifi Azmi's birth centenary. But after the Pulwama terror attack yesterday that killed 44 jawans, the actress and husband Javed Akhtar turned down the invite.

While speaking to Pinkvilla exclusively, the actress said, “Javed and I were invited by Karachi Arts Council for a 2-day event celebrating my father Kaifi Azmi's birth centenary. I appreciate that our hosts have mutually agreed to cancel the event at the nth hour in wake of the Pulwama attack."

But, even though the actress denied the invitation, Manikarnika actress Kangana didn't fail to take a jibe on her. In a recent statement issued by the Manikarnika actress, the actress called Shabana Azmi an anti-national who boosts the morale of the enemies. Here's her entire statement.

“People like Shabana Azmi calling for a halt on cultural exchange, they are the ones who promote 'Bharat tere tukade honge' gangs.... why did they organize an event in Karachi in the first place when Pakistani artists have been banned after Uri attacks and now they are trying to save face. The film industry is full of such anti-nationals who boost enemies morale in many ways but right now is the time to focus on decisive actions... Pakistan ban is not the focus, Pakistan destruction is.”

Kangana was supposed to throw a success bash for Manikarnika tomorrow but in wake of the terror attacks, she cancelled the same.
