On her second post, Kangana shared a news article with the headline, 'Male version of Kangana Ranaut!', Netizens react as Akshay's 'Selfiee' fails to impress viewers, maybe his sixth flop in a row...'

Kangana went on sharing some more news articles. And then concluded in a separate post, "web is full of hundreds of articles where selfie failure is blamed on me and Akshay sir no mention of Karna Johar name at all, this is how mafia manipulates news and build perception that suits their narrative..."
