Kangana Ranaut, Shashi Tharoor Twitter News: Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday were embroiled in a discussion on an immensely debatable topic on Twitter. Shashi Tharoor welcomed the idea of Tamil cinema superstar Kamal Haasan's idea of recognising housework as a salaried profession. In fact, Shashi Tharoor supported the idea of paying a monthly wage to homemakers. Tharoor said this will recognise and monetise the services of women homemakers in society and will enhance their power, autonomy and create near-universal basic income. Kangana Ranaut however, had her own take on this.

Reacting to  Shashi Tharoor's comment on welcoming the idea of Kamal Haasan for a monthly wage to be given to homemakers, Kangana Ranaut said, "Don’t put a price tag on sex we have with our love, don’t pay us for mothering our own, we don’t need salary for being the Queens of our own little kingdom our home,stop seeing everything as business. Surrender to your woman she needs all of you not just your love/respect/salary."

In another tweet, Kangana said, "It will be worse to reduce a home owner to home employ, to give price tag to mothers sacrifices and life long unwavering commitment,It’s like you want to pay God for this creation, cause you suddenly pity him for his efforts. It’s partially painful and partially funny thought."

The debate did not end there though. Reacting to Kangana's take, Tharoor tweeted, "I agree w/ @KanganaTeam
 that there are so many things in a homemaker’s life that are beyond price. But this is not about those things: it’s about recognising the value of unpaid work&also ensuring a basic income to every woman. I’d like all Indian women to be as empowered as you!"

Earlier, the social media battle between Urmila Matondkar and Kangana Ranaut heated up on Sunday when the latter launched a fresh Twitter attack on the former, indirectly questioning the legitimacy of funds that Urmila spent in buying her new office, said to cost around Rs 3 crore.

In a video clip she tweeted the same day, Urmila retorted saying she can furnish any evidence needed to prove she had legitimately purchased the property.
