Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has responded to recent criticism from fellow actor Rakhi Sawant, accusing her of making derogatory and vulgar remarks about successful women out of jealousy and frustration.
The latest exchange between the two celebrities began after Rakhi criticised Kangana’s comments about Gen Z, in which the actor had referred to the younger generation as “generation gutter.”
Rakhi subsequently criticised Kangana’s choice of words and called her a “gutter mouth.” Kangana has now responded through her Instagram Stories, offering a broader commentary on what she described as repeated public attacks against successful women.
Kangana Responds to Rakhi Sawant
In her Instagram Stories, Kangana said she believes unsuccessful and bitter individuals sometimes target successful women as a way of dealing with their own feelings of jealousy, envy and failure.
The actor argued that women should not be made to feel humiliated or pressured into repeatedly explaining themselves whenever they face what she considers deliberate public criticism.
While Kangana did not limit her comments to Rakhi, she specifically included Rakhi among several members of the film industry whom she said had made remarks about her.
Kangana also claimed that some of the comments directed at her had gone beyond criticism of her professional work and had instead become personal.
Kangana Names Other Industry Figures
During her response, Kangana referred to several actors, including Ashutosh Rana, Sonu Sood, Rakhi Sawant and Taapsee Pannu.
According to Kangana, Ashutosh Rana had criticised the way she speaks, while Sonu Sood had commented on her behaviour.
She also accused Rakhi Sawant of making vulgar comments about her character.
Kangana further alleged that Taapsee Pannu had made insulting remarks concerning her parents, upbringing and background.
The comments reflect Kangana’s long-standing reputation for openly addressing disagreements with other members of the entertainment industry.
She has frequently used social media to respond to criticism and discuss issues involving fellow actors, filmmakers and other public figures.
Rakhi Sawant Criticised Kangana’s Gen Z Comments
Rakhi’s criticism came after Kangana made remarks about Generation Z, using the phrase “generation gutter” while expressing her views about the younger generation.
Rakhi responded by questioning Kangana’s language and criticising the way she expressed her opinion.
She described Kangana as having a “gutter mouth” and shared her criticism publicly through social media.
Rakhi is also known for making outspoken statements about celebrities and entertainment-industry controversies, making the exchange between the two actors a topic of discussion among their followers.
Kangana’s latest response has now added another chapter to the public disagreement.
Debate Moves to Social Media
The exchange between Kangana and Rakhi has attracted attention because both celebrities are known for their direct and often controversial public statements.
Social media has increasingly become a platform where Bollywood personalities respond directly to criticism rather than waiting for traditional media interviews.
In this case, Kangana used Instagram Stories to explain her position and address what she viewed as attacks against her.
Her response also broadened the discussion beyond Rakhi, bringing up comments she said had previously been made by other members of the film industry.
While the two actors have exchanged public remarks, neither side’s statements should be treated as an independent confirmation of the allegations made against the other.
Kangana Continues Work in Bollywood
Despite the ongoing exchange, Kangana remains focused on her acting projects.
The actor is preparing for an upcoming psychological thriller featuring R Madhavan.
The project will reunite Kangana and Madhavan following their previous collaborations in the popular Tanu Weds Manu franchise.
Their earlier films together became well known among Hindi cinema audiences, making the upcoming project a notable reunion for the two actors.
The new psychological thriller is expected to present the pair in a different setting from their earlier romantic-comedy collaborations.
Public Disagreements Continue to Draw Attention
Kangana’s latest comments once again highlight how statements made by Bollywood personalities can quickly develop into wider social media discussions.
The disagreement began with a debate over Gen Z and language but expanded after Kangana addressed what she described as a pattern of criticism from several industry figures.
Her remarks about Rakhi, along with her references to Ashutosh Rana, Sonu Sood and Taapsee Pannu, have added further attention to the exchange.
For now, the dispute remains largely centred on statements shared publicly through social media.
Kangana has defended her position while criticising what she considers personal attacks, whereas Rakhi’s earlier comments focused on Kangana’s language and remarks about Gen Z.
With both celebrities maintaining strong social media presences, further reactions could continue to attract attention from Bollywood followers.
Meanwhile, Kangana’s upcoming collaboration with R Madhavan gives the actor another major professional project to focus on as discussions surrounding her latest comments continue online.
