Kangana Ranaut: BJP MP Kangana Ranaut used a Monday media interaction at Delhi Airport to take aim at a long list of critics, dismissing them as “failed” and “irrelevant” while defending her recent public remarks.
What Triggered the Latest Round
The flare-up traces back to Ranaut’s “Generation Gutter” comment, made while criticising protesters at Jantar Mantar, which drew sharp backlash from across the entertainment industry. Sonu Sood urged restraint in public speech, while Rakhi Sawant responded with video critiques, reigniting older tensions with actors like Taapsee Pannu and Ashutosh Rana.
DON'T MISS
Ranaut’s Response at the Airport
Addressing reporters directly, Ranaut named her critics one by one. She said Ashutosh Rana accuses her of barking “like a dog,” while singling out Rakhi Sawant for remarks about her character and Taapsee Pannu for comments she said targeted her parents and upbringing. Her message to all of them was blunt: unless they had matched even a fraction of her professional success, she wasn’t interested in their opinions, adding she would “not tolerate these remarks.”
Baba Ramdev in the Crosshairs Too
Ranaut reserved her sharpest words for yoga guru Baba Ramdev, accusing him of having “crossed every boundary of decency” with his comments about women. She said his remarks had brought shame to society and suggested he needed to reflect on his views regarding women.
An Old Rivalry Resurfaces
The clash with Taapsee Pannu is far from new, dating back to 2019 and repeatedly reignited over the years through nepotism debates and personal jabs, including Ranaut’s past use of the term “B-grade actresses” for Pannu and others. This latest airport outburst adds another chapter to that long-running feud, even as neither actor named the other directly in their most recent social media exchange.
