In the video, she pointed out that as an artist, she has played several roles and does not shy away from admitting that looking a certain way is a professional requirement.In her caption, Kangana wrote, “You want to use my movie character clips I get paid millions to play, high profile show business events where I am surrounded by my own entourage and event planners security forces, you want to use these to convince vulnerable teenagers that she can do the same on the road or in school functions or in dingy clubs? Is it the same thing?”She further added, “Don’t mislead the youth; it’s not the same thing. Today you mislead others’ children; tomorrow it will be yours.”
Kangana Ranaut’s earlier remarks on Gen Z protestsKangana Ranaut has been in the news for days over her comments on recent student protests. On Monday, she said the protests were at odds with the values India represents, stating, “Never in my life, I have seen so much ugliness in one place. These reels from Gen Z protests are puke-inducing, the way they speak and the kind of language they are using. Never in my life have I seen everything in each and every frame so jarring and so crass all at once.”She continued, “Ewwww, who is birthing and raising them? India is a place of diversely beautiful people, draped in elegance and rooted in cultural sophistication; you call yourselves cockroaches and look/behave like them as well; there is no paradox or juxtaposition there, just simply subjecting the world to your filth, garbage and ugliness. I am scarred from these reels, need some healing, digital detox.”
