'Branded Anti-National Over a Retweet': Neha Singh Rathore on Dissent, and the Politics of Outrage

Why is it “deshbhakti” when a PM visits Pakistan, but “deshdroh” when a singer’s video gets shared by a Pakistani handle? In this no-holds-barred conversation, Neha Singh Rathore responds to the hate, the allegations of spreading religious divide, and questions about her political leanings.
She talks about her viral ‘Ka Ba’ songs, being labelled anti-national, and why she sings about some states but not others. Will there be a ‘Bihar Me Ka Ba 2’? Will she join politics? And why, despite being famous, she still struggles financially?
