Overview
- A journalist on Siddharth Kannan's podcast said Kangana Ranaut kept kissing Vir Das after a 'cut' on the Revolver Rani set and bit his lip, an account that resurfaced online this week.
- Vir Das posted on X on June 28 that the story is "pure fiction," called Kangana a "complete professional," and described the claim as unfair slander.
- Kangana replied on X by thanking Vir for setting the record straight and attacking the journalist who made the claim, calling her a 'weirdo' and dismissing the account as random.
- News outlets report the allegation rests on a single journalist's remark and has no independent corroboration, repeating a pattern after a similar 2023 rumour.
- The exchange revives an older public friction between the two and shows how podcast clips and social media can quickly amplify unverified claims and cause reputational harm.
