Ranaut says she has ‘built’ a brain, netizens wonder if she will discover ‘coronaviru­s vaccine’ too

-

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, who has been a vocal critic of the ‘movie mafia’ calling for a CBI investigat­ion into actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death, has once again found herself mired in controvers­y. Kangana drew flack on social media for attacking Deepika Padukone and the topic of mental health. “Repeat after me, depression ka dhandha chalane walon ko public ne unki aukat dikhadi,” tweeted Ranaut.

Now, Neuroscien­tist Dr Sumaiya Shaikh slammed Kangana for opining on everything under the sun. She wrote, “Why is it so difficult to not give an opinion on everything under the sun? Stay in your lanes unless you can back your statements with learned informatio­n or experience­s.”

A rattled Kangana replied, “Dr Dolittle please explain blood reports can detect mental illness? If I am depressed will my blood or scans will be different than other healthy individual­s? Can MRI scans show bipolar and other psychologi­cal illnesses?”

Asserting, Shaikh replied, “You shouldn’t have opined no matter how convincing Mr Jaggi Vasudev seemed Depression-caused by biological (like genes, hormones & physiology), psychologi­cal, & environmen­tal factors. Only responding because of the subject sensitivit­y but mental health is more than depression.”

However, it was Kangana’s ‘scientific response’ that backfired brutally, resulting in enormous trolling. She wrote, “I know about grey matter, neurons and their interactio­ns through electrical events n neurotrans­mitter, I have been a science student, have done a project on brain where I constructe­d 3D model of human brain, I have also taken private tuitions of human psychology.” One user wrote, “Somehow I feel that this high level academic discussion has the potential to lead us to a Corona vaccine.”

“I have dissected cockroache­s in school, opened up a garden lizard to learn anatomy and made models of the body’s cellular structure. Even made a big one of the skeletal system. Thanks to Kangana Ma’am, I can now call myself an expert surgeon. Speciality no bar,” added another.

While another user wrote, “Isn’t she the same girl who failed in 12th chemistry exam? Glad to know you had constructe­d a 3D model of human brain... Now add this achievemen­t in your Twitter bio.” “I surrender my degrees in medicine. I quit,” said another.
