Kangana Ranaut Clarifies 'Generation Gutter' Remarks; Defends Previous CJP Protestors' Comment After Backlash

The BJP MP’s comments on NEET protests and Gen Z drew criticism from CJP and opposition leaders, escalating the online political row.

  • On Tuesday, July 28, 2026, BJP MP Kangana Ranaut sparked controversy by labeling Gen Z protesters "Generation gutter" in Instagram Stories, drawing sharp condemnation from Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson Saurav Das.
  • Ranaut doubled down, criticizing young female protesters as "most appalling" and "ugly and corrupt," while defending her 20-year public career as a filmmaker, performer, and entrepreneur against Das's attacks.
