Kangana Ranaut launched a public attack on Baba Ramdev, Taapsee Pannu, and Ashutosh Rana in a video posted to YouTube [1].
The confrontation highlights the ongoing volatility between the actress and other prominent figures in Indian public life. By targeting a yoga guru and fellow actors, Ranaut continues a pattern of high-profile disputes that often polarize social media audiences.
Ranaut described the three individuals as "failed, irrelevant people" [2]. She further labeled them as "bhookhe nange log" [3] and described them as "failed, stupid, and disgusting" [4].
The actress said the remarks were a response to earlier criticism and comments the three personalities had made about her. She said they were seeking media attention through their criticisms.
Ranaut has frequently used digital platforms to address grievances with peers in the entertainment industry and public figures. This latest video follows a series of exchanges where she has fired back at those who question her public image or professional conduct.
While the specific nature of the original remarks by Ramdev, Pannu, and Rana was not detailed in the response video, Ranaut said their comments were attempts to remain relevant in the public eye.
“"Failed, irrelevant people"”
This exchange underscores the intersection of celebrity culture and public discourse in India, where personal disputes often play out as public spectacles. Ranaut's aggressive rhetorical style serves to maintain her image as a disruptor, while the targeting of a diverse group—including a spiritual leader and cinema colleagues—indicates a broad front of friction between the actress and various sectors of the Indian elite.
