Kangana Ranaut's Post Calling COVID "Small Time Flu" Deleted By Instagram

In an Instagram story, Kangana Ranaut wrote that her post was deleted because she "threatened to demolish COVID"

Kangana Ranaut's post announcing she had tested positive for COVID-19 has been deleted by Instagram, the actress revealed in an Instagram story. On Saturday, Kangana shared a tone-deaf post in which she not only announced that she has been infected with the virus but also wrote dismissively of it as a "small time flu which got too much press." She was strongly criticized in the comments thread for her insensitivity and for spreading misinformation - India is battling a brutal second COVID wave with over 4,000 deaths a day, compounded by a severe shortage of oxygen and other medical resources. Kangana Ranaut's typically unrepentant Instagram story claims Instagram deleted her post because she "threatened to demolish COVID"; she also takes a jibe at what she calls a "COVID fan club." Last week, Twitter took away the actress' megaphone; her Instagram and Facebook accounts are still active but, as she notes in her Instagram story, perhaps not for much longer - "don't think will last here for more than a week," she wrote.
