Kangana Blasts NEET Protesters
Kangana Ranaut, the Bollywood Queen known for her controversial nature and tendency to involve herself in national issues, is once again at the center of a firestorm. She has expressed strong anger and displeasure over the language and behavior of youth participating in the recent NEET paper leak protests, questioning, “Who gave birth to and raised children like this?” Following the alleged NEET paper leak, youth across the country took to the streets, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who eventually resigned.
However, Kangana went on a full-blown rant against the protesters. She stated, “I have never seen such disgusting scenes in one place. Watching those reels makes me feel like vomiting. The language they are speaking in them is very vulgar.” She added that she was deeply disturbed by these viral protest reels, particularly fuming that in India, a hub of civilization and culture, it was appalling for youth to behave by comparing themselves to cockroaches. She further revealed her distress, saying she was mentally drained after watching these reels and needed a digital detox and some peace.
This isn’t the first time Kangana has lashed out at protesters. She reacted similarly to farmers’ protests in the past, criticizing them and stating her opinion that such protests have no place in a democracy and are not the right way to express dissent.
From Screen to Parliament: Controversy’s Path
Born Kangana Amardeep Ranaut on March 23, 1986, in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, she has excelled not only as an actress but also as a director. After making her debut in 2006 with “Gangster,” films like “Fashion,” “Queen,” “Tanu Weds Manu,” and “Manikarnika” brought her significant fame. She also directed and starred in “Emergency,” a film based on Indira Gandhi’s life that struggled with censors before its release. A recipient of four National Awards and the Padma Shri, Kangana recently broadened her career by successfully contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha elections on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), winning as an MP and making her mark in politics.
Her latest remarks on the conduct of youth in protests have now become a significant topic of discussion on social media. Her opinions are likely to lead to controversy once again, which is nothing new for her, and it remains to be seen how Gen Z will react to her strong comments.
Looking Ahead
Kangana’s typical provocations against our youth continue to stir a storm. While controversy is her constant companion, these pointed remarks, especially questioning their upbringing, risk a powerful and unexpected digital counter-response from an empowered Gen Z. The coming days will truly test her influence.
