Kangana Ranaut reacts to foreigner picking litter in India In the video, widely shared on several social media platforms, a man was seen picking up trash from near a waterfall in the state. A few Indian tourists were seen enjoying the view or walking around. After picking up the litter, the man, looking at the camera, said, "Maybe if I have a free day, I sit up here and watch and tell people, 'Pick this up'." "I'll do that. I've no problem telling someone." He then walked over to the bin to dispose of the garbage. Sharing the video, Kangana wrote, 'Shameful.' Kangana is the incumbent MP from Mandi, her hometown, which is also in Himachal Pradesh. Internet criticises Indian tourists for not disposing of garbage in bins Reacting to a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), a person said, "I have said it many times. We need a generational shift in the mindset. Teach your children that it is bad. I have seen people telling their kids to throw trash out of the car. Civic sense is zero amongst us." A comment read, "Foreign tourists are often more sensitive about cleanliness than our own people." A tweet read, "There's a reason Indian tourists are often shamed and looked down upon. It's not just to do with racism but also our pathetic behaviour and attitude." A person tweeted, "How embarrassing! People should pick up after themselves. Can't believe others have to remind them to even follow a basic rule of cleanliness." About Kangana's films Fans saw Kangana last in Emergency, in which the actor portrays the role of late prime minister Indira Gandhi. It was released in theatres on January 17 this year. Kangana will make her debut in Hollywood with a lead role in the horror drama Blessed Be the Evil. She will star alongside Tyler Posey and Scarlet Rose Stallone in the film.

Picture Credit: X Pawan Kalyan's much-hyped period action drama 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Swords vs Spirit' has been facing a poor reception at the box office. The movie's momentum seems to have faded after a promising start. As per early estimates by trade analyst Sacnilk, the film managed to collect only Rs 28 lakh on its ninth day, marking its lowest single-day figure so far. Box office trends The film, which hit theatres on July 24, opened to massive expectations, especially with Pawan Kalyan taking on a full-fledged period role and the makers branding it as his first pan-Indian film. While the opening weekend brought in decent numbers, the collection has steadily declined since the weekdays began. In the first week, the movie opened powerfully with Rs 34.75 crore on day 1, but sharp drops followed. Collections slumped to Rs 8 crore on the second day and fluctuated around Rs 9-10 crore through the weekend before falling further during weekdays. The total earnings for the first week stood at Rs 80.86 crore, but the second week hasn't seen much traction. The film's current India total stands at a little over Rs 81 crore, and is also facing competition from other big releases like Vijay Deverakonda 's 'Kingdom'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing Older Women should Avoid Learn More Undo About the film Directed by Jyothi Krishna and Krish Jagarlamudi, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is set in the Mughal era and tells the story of a fictional character which is an outlaw Veera Mallu, played by Pawan Kalyan, who takes on the oppressive regime.
