Shekhar Suman claims Kangana Ranaut is not 'cocained actress'

Shekhar Suman

Veteran actor Shekhar Suman is 'horrified' that Twitterati have assumed he referred to Kangana Ranaut as the 'cocained actress' in his tweet.

It all started when Shekhar Suman posted a cryptic tweet on Monday that read, "One cocained actress was carrying the burden of her non existent stardom.She has fallen flat on her face n how.Guess this is poetic justice."

Twitterati were quick to assume that Shekhar Suman was referring to actress Kangana Ranaut with her latest release 'Rangoon' garnering a poor response at the box office.

Kangana Ranaut's dream run at the box-office suffered a setback with her latest outing collecting a mere Rs 18.25 crore in its opening weekend. The Vishal Bhardwaj-directed period drama had received average reviews, and poor word of mouth buzz made a dent in its business.
