Kangana Ranaut hits back at trolls
Taking to Instagram Stories on Friday, Kangana reposted a reel of her giving a speech inside the Parliament. Kangana was seen lashing out against a statement passed by a Congress leader using her picture after she won the Mandi seat from BJP. She said that she has played various roles in her career as an artist and thus will not take any shame in accepting that it is the demand of her profession to look seamless in any given part.
Along with the reel, she wrote, “You want to use my movie character clips I get paid millions to play, high profile show business events where I am surrounded by my own entourage and event planners security forces, you want to use these to convince vulnerable teenagers that she can do the same on the road or in school functions or in dingy clubs? Is it the same thing?”
She further added, “Don’t mislead the youth, it’s not the same thing. Today you mislead others children tomorrow it will be yours.”
Kangana’s controversial comments on Gen Z
Kangana grabbed headlines after posting a couple of Instagram stories, slamming the Gen Z protestors over their language, posters and social media posts used during the protests. She wrote, “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.”
