There was another kid who sat down, crouched near her knees, dressed as Hanuman. Kangana wrote the names of everyone who had participated in the caption.

Kangana's recent comments

Kangana has been grabbing headlines since the last few days for her comments on the student protests. On Monday, Kangana had shared that the protests are in stark difference with the values and sophistication that India stands for. She stated, “Never in my life, I have seen so much ugliness in one place. These reels from Gen Z protests are puke-inducing, the way they speak and the kind of language they are using. Never in my life have I seen everything in each and every frame so jarring and so crass all at once.”

She added, “Ewwww, who is birthing and raising them? India is a place of diversely beautiful people, draped in elegance and rooted in cultural sophistication; you call yourselves cockroaches and look/behave like them as well; there is no paradox or juxtaposition there, just simply subjecting the world to your filth, garbage and ugliness. I am scarred from these reels, need some healing, digital detox.”

Saurav Das responds to Kangana

CJP spokesperson Saurav Das then launched a sharp attack on the actor and told ANI, "Even members of her own party don't pay much heed to Kangana Ranaut or take her seriously, so why should we? I don't think anyone in Gen Z, Gen Alpha, or any younger generation takes her seriously or listens to what she says. She is a politician now. There were videos from when she visited her constituency in Himachal Pradesh, where she remarked that she had expected the job to require very little work, only to realise that being a Member of Parliament involves a massive amount of labour. That speaks volumes about her own seriousness. Gen Z has done more for this country than her.”

On the work front, Kangana was last seen in the film Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata. The film, which was based on true events and tells the story of hospital workers who protected 400 patients during the 26/11 terrorist attacks at Mumbai’s Cama and Albless Hospital, released in theatres in June.
