Remember Payal Rohatgi? She dated Rahul Mahajan at one point of time and was also seen on Bigg Boss season 2. After a string of flops, she took a sabbatical from films and is in a steady relationship with wrestler Sangram Singh since 2011. Payal is also very active on social media about her political alliances.
Recently, the actress tweeted calling for the removal of article 370 of the Indian constitution which makes Jammu & Kashmir an autonomous state. Her controversial tweet also had her asking for Muslims to be evicted from Kashmir.
Read the tweet here:
If Article 370 can’t be removed then ask #KashmiriMuslims 2 evict Kashmir. Centre should make it #Defence area. Kashmiris start living in other cities of 🇮🇳. Kashmir will always be a part of India whether it has Kashmiris in it or no. U guys threw Pandits out, now evict Muslims. pic.twitter.com/xcYlSXhFTr

Gauahar Khan replied to this tweet and it led to a long argument about religion between the ladies.

Gauahar’s response led to a heated war of words between the ladies. Payal retorted by calling her a “Muslim aunty” who “played the feminist card” to win Bigg Boss and also had a Hindu boyfriend.
Muslim Aunty who played d #feminist card to win a realityshow who was in a unsuccessful relationship with a Hindu guy, has emerged😉. She knows d population of my building 😉 then U should know I own d flat 😉. U workout in hijab ? Because Muslim women in my building do that 😂 https://t.co/0nPv4GHoNx

Since Payal mentioned Hijab, it sparked off yet another debate.
It’s a woman’s choice to wear a hijab or not!N if they r working g out in a hijab I am proud that it’s an example of being able to do all that u want in it! Just the way Its not frowned upon when a woman works out in her sports bra, she shouldn’t have to get small minded

People like u to look down upon a woman wearing her hijab to work out! That’s what real feminists r ! They build each other up ! Not like ppl who choose to be nice to men n women depending on their faith ! I don’t need to run u down, the ppl of this world r clever

The war ended only when Gauahar blocked Payal on Twitter and the latter then called it a publicity stunt pulled by Gauahar.
