It all started when Rakht actress Payal Rohatgi tweeted a rather controversial tweet calling for the removal of Article 370 and the eviction of Kashmiri Muslims from Kashmir. Article 370 of the Indian constitution gives autonomous status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Gauahar Khan took to Twitter to reply to Payal's tweet and said, "Hahahahaha so says a person who is living happily in a building that is 90% Muslims ! In An area that has harmony amongst the koli, christian n muslim population who live there! Im proud that atleast the Muslims in ur building tolerate a bigoted person like u (sic)!!"

What followed was an ugly spat that turned uglier by the minute.
