Akshay Kumar and Kangana Ranaut Respond to Maldivian Leader’s Remarks Against PM Narendra Modi; Unity of Salman Khan, Tiger Shroff, and Others Amid Maldives Controversy

A controversy recently erupted when Mariyam Shiuna, the Deputy Minister of Youth Empowerment in Maldives, made an objectionable remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi following his visit to Lakshadweep. Her comment on a tweet went viral, leading to condemnation from the Maldives government, which referred to India as a “time-tested friend.” Another row ensued when Maldivian leader Zahid Rameez accused India of imitating Sri Lanka’s small economy to make money. These comments from the Maldivian ministers sparked outrage on social media, with calls for a boycott of the island.

Amidst the controversy, several Indian celebrities have come together to encourage their fans to explore the Indian islands and support Lakshadweep. Akshay Kumar and Kangana Ranaut, in particular, responded strongly to the hateful tweets from the Maldivian leader. Akshay Kumar shared screenshots of Zahid Rameez’s tweet and expressed surprise at the comments made by prominent figures from the Maldives. He questioned why such unprovoked hate should be tolerated from a country that receives a significant number of Indian tourists. Akshay Kumar also emphasized the importance of dignity and suggested exploring the Indian islands to support Indian tourism.

Kangana Ranaut retweeted Akshay Kumar’s post and criticized Zahid Rameez for his racist comments. She highlighted that Lakshadweep has a predominantly Muslim population and called the Maldivian leader’s remarks both racist and uninformed. Kangana further explained that the beauty of Lakshadweep lies in its untouched and unexploited natural islands, offering an opportunity for people to connect with nature and experience the raw beauty of virgin beaches. She condemned Zahid Rameez’s crass and vulgar racism.

The comments from these Indian celebrities reflect their strong support for the Indian islands and their refusal to tolerate hateful remarks. As the controversy continues, the voices of these celebrities resonate with those who value the beauty and importance of supporting local tourism.
