A verification of Kangana Ranaut's official Instagram account shows that she has not uploaded any such story. The actress and BJP MP, who frequently voices her opinions on social media, has also not commented publicly on the debate surrounding the intimate scenes featuring Yash and Kiara in Toxic

A viral social media post claiming that actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut defended Yash and Kiara Advani's upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups while taking a swipe at Deepika Padukone's Gehraiyaan is false. The statement was never posted by the actress on her official Instagram account.

The fabricated post has been circulating on X, where it is being presented as a screenshot of Kangana's Instagram story. It praises Toxic and accuses the film industry of applying different standards while comparing it with Gehraiyaan. However, there is no such post on Kangana's verified social media accounts.

The fake story read, "Bollywood's ecosystem is criticising Kiara Advani and Yash's Toxic for showing intimacy, even though the script required it. At the same time, the same industry praised Deepika Padukone for doing even bolder romantic scenes in Gehraiyaan with a younger actor. The double standards and negative PR are obvious."

The viral screenshot was shared online with the caption, "Kangana Ranaut posted story in support of #ToxicTheMovie and cooked Deepika Padukone."
