Kangana Ranaut and Akshay Kumar

Over the weekend, several Bollywood celebrities cheered Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Lakshadweep and batted for tourism in India. However, Akshay Kumar and Kangana Ranaut were the first ones to call out hateful posts by VIPs in the Maldives government against India and Indians. “Came across comments from prominent figures of Maldives passing hateful and racist comments on Indians. Surprised that they are doing this to a country that sends them the maximum number of tourists. We are good to our neighbours, but why should we tolerate such unprovoked hate?” wondered Akki. Sharing that he has visited the Maldives many times, he added, “But dignity first. Let us decide to explore Indian islands and support our own tourism.” Quoting a post about smell in the Indian island, Kangana wrote, “Lakshadweep consists of 98 per cent Muslim population, this prominent public figure from Maldives calling them smelly and lowly is rather racist and uninformed.” Asserting that with a population of barely 60,000 people, Lakshadweep is almost unexplored and unexploited natural island, she added, “For most people tourism is not just filthy luxury, it is rather exploration of nature, alignment with the source and above all, experiencing and enjoying the raw, untouched beauty of virgin beaches. Shame on you for being so crass and vulgarly racist.”
