Kangana wrote on the photo-sharing platform: “Every one is talking about NVIDIA honey trap controversy, for Emergency I did a lot of research on Indian politics and Gandhi family and I must confess that one thing I could never wrap my head around is that one mysterious foreign national enters Gandhi family and Indira Gandhi killed, Sanjay Gandhi Rajeev Gandhi all potential heirs to the throne killed leaving just one and only sympathy choice for the throne that one foreign national called Sonia Gandhi and people didn’t even think there were way too many coincidences also that foreigner notoriously and openly propagated foreign agendas shed crocodile tears for terrorists, yet she managed to head the government for decades until of course 2014 happened (sic).”
Kangana accuses Sonia Gandhi of sidelining Maneka Gandhi
A few hours later, Kangana shared another post. She accused Sonia Gandhi of throwing Maneka Gandhi out of the family home after Sanjay Gandhi’s death.
She claimed Maneka was vulnerable after her husband’s death. According to Kangana, the family forced the young widow to leave with her son.
Kangana wrote: “And just like that a vulnerable teenage girl Maneka who Sanjay Gandhi married and loved like crazy, after his death his young widow with their son was thrown out of his house for random reasons as mentioned by Sonia Gandhi, she was out of the way just before every one else was to get killed, how convenient!,”
Maneka Gandhi left the Prime Minister’s residence at Safdarjung Road in New Delhi in March 1982. She left with her young son, Varun Gandhi. This happened almost two years after Sanjay Gandhi’s death.
Kangana reacts to archival Gandhi family footage
Before the memoir’s release, archival footage of the Gandhi family also surfaced. The clip shows family members sharing a meal and discussing election results.
Kangana reacted to the footage in a post on X. She claimed Sonia Gandhi appeared to influence the family. She also said Maneka seemed sidelined after her husband’s death.
Kangana questioned how Sonia Gandhi met Rajiv Gandhi at a cafe abroad. She also questioned how that meeting led to her entry into the influential political family.
In another social media post, Kangana described Maneka as a “wounded little child”. She said Maneka appeared to seek comfort from her mother-in-law, Indira Gandhi, in the footage.
She wrote: “Even in the end of the clip every one leaves but Maneka stays looking at Mrs Gandhi like a wounded little child seeking some comfort may be a little smile or a gaze in her direction, she stays hoping for one sign but nothing comes only coldness and slowly she disappears like she is there but doesn’t exist. Heartbreaking! On the other hand every one seems to be wrapped around little finger of a mysterious foreign national who bumped in to older son Rajeev Gandhi in a cafe abroad and ever since became inseparable, younger son Sanjay was being formally trained by Mrs Gandhi but he dies mysteriously and his vulnerable young window Maneka was thrown out of his house for random reasons and shortly after that the mother in law and husband were also killed one after the other.”
Towards the end of her post, Kangana again questioned the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Sanjay Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. She claimed these events left Sonia Gandhi as the head of the government.
