Kangana Ranaut Slams ‘Generation Gutter’, ‘Puke-Inducing CJP Protest’: 8 Times Actor-MP's Remarks Led To Controversy Published By, Last Updated: July 28, 2026, 13:22 IST From Punjab farmers, 'India's real freedom' to 'Mumbai as PoK': A look at the times Kangana Ranaut's remarks led to controversies Rapid Read MP Kangana Ranaut recently took to Instagram to mock the CJP movement. BJP MP Kangana Ranaut sparked a massive political controversy by launching a scathing attack on the Gen Z-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests and student demonstrations over NEET exam irregularities. This is not the first time. A look at the times her remarks led to controversies. ‘GENERATION GUTTER’: KANGANA RANAUT AND CJP The Mandi MP took to Instagram to mock the movement and its participants. Ranaut called viral reels and videos from the protests “puke-inducing" and described them as jarring and crass. She questioned the protesters’ upbringing, writing, “ewww who is birthing and raising them?" She allegedly made highly controversial remarks directed at young women at the demonstrations, labeling the demographic “Generation Gutter" and criticising their conduct. Ranaut argued that citizens cannot “arm-twist" an elected government into deciding who to sack or retain. She stated that if protesters want systemic change, they should “stand for elections yourself" instead of trying to dictate terms from Jantar Mantar. She praised the Delhi Police for acting as a protective shield, claiming that Members of Parliament inside the complex were frightened that the protesting crowd could turn violent and attack. ‘BANGLADESH-LIKE CRISIS’: KANGANA RANUAT AND FARMERS’ PROTEST During a promotional media interview for her movie Emergency in August 2024, Ranaut alleged that India was saved from an existential disaster during the 2020–2021 farmers’ agitations. She claimed that the protests were heavily orchestrated by foreign agendas, asserting that if the union leadership had not shown foresight, India would have succumbed to a “Bangladesh-like crisis." She further alleged that bodies were seen hanging and rapes were taking place at the protest sites.

The statement triggered intense political blowback, forcing her own party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), to issue an official public disclaimer stating she was “neither permitted nor authorized" to speak on party policy, explicitly directing her to stop issuing such statements. WHEN KANGANA RANAUT SAID ‘REAL FREEDOM WAS OBTAINED IN 2014’ While speaking at a mainstream media summit shortly after being awarded India’s fourth-highest civilian honor, the Padma Shri, Ranaut in November 2021 argued that India’s hard-won independence from British colonial rule in 1947 was not true freedom, but rather “bheek" (alms/handout). She claimed that the country achieved actual, sovereign independence only in 2014, when the Narendra Modi-led government was voted into power. The comment insulted the legacy of India’s freedom fighters, prompting massive political outrage, multiple criminal complaints, and widespread demands for her Padma Shri award to be rescinded. MUMBAI LIKE PAKISTAN-OCCUPIED KASHMIR: KANGANA RANAUT’S SEPTEMBER 2020 REMARK Following the tragic death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Ranaut targeted the Mumbai Police and the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, accusing them of a cover-up. When politicians from the Shiv Sena warned her against returning to the city due to her constant criticisms, she took to Twitter to ask why Mumbai was suddenly “feeling like Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir". The comment deeply offended Maharashtrian sentiments and escalated into a massive federal standoff. It directly culminated in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) executing a lightning-fast, highly public partial demolition of her Bandra office for alleged “illegal structures," an action later deemed “malicious" by the Bombay High Court. CALLING PROTESTING FARMERS “TERRORISTS AND ₹100 ACTORS" In December 2020, at the height of the initial agrarian protests against the Centre’s new farm laws, Ranaut frequently targeted the agitations on social media. In a highly criticized tweet, she misidentified an elderly Sikh woman demonstrator, Mahinder Kaur, as Bilkis Bano (the famous octogenarian from the Shaheen Bagh anti-CAA protests), Mockingly, Ranaut posted that the lady was “available for ₹100" to sit in any protest.
