Kangana Ranaut, known for her outspoken views, recently launched a scathing attack on Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, labeling him as “the most dangerous man.” The actor-politician did not hold back, describing Gandhi as “bitter” and “poisonous.” Her explosive comments have ignited widespread discussion and debate.
Here’s a breakdown of what led to Ranaut’s fiery rant and the key points she raised.
Kangana Ranaut: From a Sensible Newcomer to a Controversial Figure, Now Targeting Rahul Gandhi
Kangana Ranaut, once known for her sensible and thoughtful perspectives when she entered the Hindi film industry between 2006 and 2013, has undergone a dramatic transformation. After her blockbuster successes with “Queen” and “Tanu Weds Manu Returns” in 2014 and 2015, Ranaut’s public persona took a sharp turn toward controversy. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who worked with her during her early career, has remarked that she has become someone who sees anyone who disagrees with her as an enemy—far removed from the actress he once knew. Now deeply involved in politics as a key figure in the BJP, Ranaut has recently targeted Congress MP Rahul Gandhi with a new round of attacks.
In a post on her X (formerly Twitter) account, Ranaut wrote, “Rahul Gandhi is the most dangerous man, he is bitter, poisonous, and destructive. His agenda is that if he can’t be the Prime Minister, then he might as well destroy this nation.” She further accused him of trying to destabilize India’s security and economy, referencing his endorsement of the Hindenburg report, which she claimed had “turned out to be a damp squib.”
What Prompted Kangana’s Attack on Rahul Gandhi?
Ranaut’s fiery rant didn’t stop there. She concluded her post with, “Mr. Gandhi, get ready to sit in the opposition all your life. You are a disgrace, and the people of this nation will never make you their leader.” This outburst was triggered by Gandhi’s response to the Hindenburg Research report, where he raised concerns about the integrity of India’s stock market and questioned the actions of SEBI’s head, Madhabi Puri Buch.
Kangana’s Focus Shifts to Politics, But Films Are Still on the Horizon
While Ranaut is increasingly focused on her political career, she hasn’t completely left the film industry. She is currently preparing for the release of her new film “Emergency,” in which she portrays former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film, which has faced multiple delays, is now scheduled to release on September 6, with the trailer launching on August 14, just ahead of India’s Independence Day. “Emergency” marks Ranaut’s second directorial venture following her 2019 film “Manikarnika.” The movie also features performances by Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, and the late Satish Kaushik.
