Kangana Ranaut launched a sharp attack on Baba Ramdev, Taapsee Pannu, and Ashutosh Rana in a video posted to social media [3].
The public dispute highlights ongoing tensions between the actress and other high-profile Indian figures regarding public discourse and personal reputation.
Ranaut described the individuals as "failed, stupid, and disgusting" [1]. She said the celebrities were seeking media attention by making personal remarks about her [1, 2].
During the video, Ranaut addressed specific comments made about her behavior, stating, "Koi kehta hai taang uthati hai..." [2]. She said these targeted remarks were calculated attempts to stay relevant in the news cycle [1].
Ranaut also included other personalities in her criticism, including Sonu Sood and Rakhi Sawant [1]. She said they were using her as a tool for their own publicity [1].
The actress did not provide specific dates for the remarks she was responding to, but the video was released via YouTube and other social media platforms [3].
“"failed, stupid, and disgusting"”
This conflict reflects a broader pattern of public confrontations involving Ranaut, who frequently uses social media to bypass traditional press channels. By framing the criticisms as attempts by others to gain 'media attention,' she positions herself as the target of opportunistic behavior rather than a participant in a mutual dispute.
