Kangana Ranaut Calls Critics ‘Failed’ And ‘Irrelevant’

Kangana said to ANI, "I see such people every day, whether it is Ashutosh Rana, who says that I bark like a dog, or Sonu Sood, who says that I should learn how to behave. People like Rakhi Sawant, who make all kinds of vulgar comments about my character, and Taapsee Pannu, who keep insulting my parents, my upbringing and my background."

She continued, "My only message to these people is that if you have not achieved even one per cent of the success I have achieved in life, I will not listen to any advice from you. These unwanted people keep abusing me in the media just to get attention." Kangana Ranaut on Gen Z: BJP MP Clarifies 'Generation Gutter' Remark, Says It Wasn't Meant for All Youth (Video).

Ranaut also said she would not accept criticism from people she believes have not achieved comparable success.

"These hungry, helpless people cannot lash out at me. They do not even spare parents. People like Ashutosh Rana say that I bark like a dog. First become Kangana Ranaut yourself. I will take advice from people who are more successful than me. I will not take advice from failed, stupid, disgusting people."

Taapsee Pannu And Kangana’s Ongoing Spat

The latest remarks come amid a renewed exchange between Kangana and Taapsee Pannu. Recently, Taapsee spoke about her equation with Kangana during a media interaction. She said she had not met Kangana and described her opinion of the actor-politician as being influenced by her upbringing, manner of speaking and way of perceiving things.

On Saturday, Kangana accused Taapsee of questioning her upbringing. Taapsee subsequently shared a cryptic post on social media on Sunday, which was seen as a response to the controversy.

Kangana Also Criticises Other Public Figures

Kangana also criticised Baba Ramdev, accusing him of crossing what she described as limits of decency. The dispute followed comments about young protesters at Delhi's Jantar Mantar protest. Kangana had previously referred to some young protesters as 'generation gutter', prompting criticism from Ramdev.

Kangana later shared a screenshot of a news report quoting Ramdev as saying, "What were her past deeds like, and what was her youth like?" Responding to the remarks, Kangana wrote, "Baba ji, don't daydream about my jawani or bedroom. One can only assume based on rumours and gossip."
