Aishwarya Lekshmi faces online backlash for praising Kangana Ranaut

Aishwarya Lekshmi was trolled after a resurfaced June 2026 interview clip where she called herself a 'big fan' of Kangana Ranaut and described her as a 'mad genius'.

In the Galatta Plus interview, Lekshmi praised Kangana Ranaut's Parliament speeches and oratory skills while promoting her film Gatta Kusthi 2.

Social media users criticized Lekshmi's comments, with some expressing disappointment and others questioning why liking Kangana Ranaut was wrong.

Lekshmi has not publicly reacted to the backlash and is not on social media.
