Meanwhile, she took a diss at Kamala Harris and the celebrity turnout at her campaign. She wrote: “Do you know Kamala’s ratings went drastically down when these clowns endorsed her, people thought she was frivolous, flaky and untrustworthy for hanging out with such people (laughing face emoji).”

Meanwhile, director Hansal Mehta, who worked with Kangana in Simran, seemed to have a different reaction. He reposted a tweet from director Ali Abbasi and said, “Fascist with a capital F. That’s @realDonaldTrump whose name was once correctly pronounced as ‘Doland’,” As the results indicated a triumph for Trump, he then tweeted, “Game over for Harris?”
