Cinema VinesActor and BJP Member of Parliament Kangana Rana Rana has once again stirred controversy, this time for her harsh remarks about the Gen Z protesters who staged demonstrations at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar and in several other cities. In a series of social‑media posts, Rana Rana blasted the language and behaviour she saw in the protest videos, calling the content “puke‑inducing” and describing it as “jarring and crass all at once.” She added that she had never witnessed such ugliness in a single place before.
Rana Rana’s comments went beyond the protesters’ rhetoric. She questioned the upbringing of the young demonstrators, writing, “Ewww, who is birthing and raising them?” and referred to the protesters’ self‑identification as “cockroaches,” saying that their appearance and conduct were “filth, garbage and ugliness.” She also targeted women who joined the protests, labeling them “so‑called westernised Indian women” and accusing them of flaunting “drugs, drinks and shamelessly living off their parents’ earnings.”
In the posts, the actress coined the phrase “Generation Gutter” to describe the youth, claiming that many of them “have nothing to offer to the system,” are “not good at studies,” and are “so ugly and corrupt that they can’t even be homemakers.” She also said the reels had left her “scarred” and that she needed a “digital detox.”
This is not the first time Rana Rana has spoken out about student and youth protests. She has previously criticized the methods of demonstrators and the pressure tactics used against the government. Her latest remarks have reignited debate over freedom of expression, the role of young activists, and the responsibilities of public figures in commenting on civil movements.
