- Kangana Ranaut named Taapsee Pannu, Rakhi Sawant, Sonu Sood, and Ashutosh Rana in a public jibe
- She accused them of making vulgar, insulting, and disrespectful comments about her and her family
- Kangana rejected advice from those she called failed and less successful than her
Kangana Ranaut went all out and named her industry colleagues in front of the media on Monday for making passing comments on her family, politics, public conduct and so on. Calling them "failures," Kangana Ranaut named Taapsee Pannu, Rakhi Sawant, Sonu Sood and Ashutosh Rana in her public jibe.
"Ye logon ke liye mera sirf ek message hai ki agar aap log meri 1% bhi life mein success nahi kama paye ho, toh main life mein aapka koi bhi gyaan nahi sunungi," Kangana said.
Addressing the media on Monday, Kangana called out those who had commented on her, naming them directly. She said, "I see such people every day, whether it is Ashutosh Rana, who says that I bark like a dog; or Sonu Sood, who says that I should learn how to behave. People like Rakhi Sawant, who make all kinds of vulgar comments about my character; and Taapsee Pannu, who have kept insulting my parents, my upbringing and my background."
Kangana also took a public jibe at those who allegedly target her for media attention. The Queen actor said, "Unwanted log jo hain mujhe jab dekho 4 gaaliyan dete rehte hain media mein aane ke liye." (These unwanted people keep hurling abuses at me whenever they can, just to get media attention.) She further remarked, "Pehle aap Kangana Ranaut bano toh sahi." (First, actually become Kangana Ranaut.) Kangana then referred to some of the remarks allegedly made against her, saying,
"Koi kutta keh raha hai, koi mata-pita ko gaali de raha hai, koi kehta hai taang uthati hai (Someone is calling me a dog, someone is abusing my parents, and someone is making lewd remarks about lifting a leg)."
She said such comments would not be tolerated and dismissed her critics as "bhukha nanga," adding that she would not let them "latch on" to her and insisting that "enough is enough."
Ranaut made it clear that she would not take advice from people who are not as successful as her, calling them "failed, stupid and disgusting" and saying she had no interest in listening to anything they had to say.
She also slammed Baba Ramdev for questioning her character.
Kangana had grabbed headlines a few weeks ago for her comments on Gen Z and the student protest that shook the nation, leading to the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
She labelled young protesters and women as "Generation Gutter," accusing them of adopting westernised mannerisms. Later, Kangana took a U-turn and praised Gen Z as India's biggest strength and ambassadors of the country's culture and identity.
