'Mujhe Sanghi banna hai': BJP MP Kangana Ranaut defends remarks, says wants to be an 'awakened Hindu'
Ranaut stated that she used to be a "moderate Hindu," and now she identifies as a "defined and awakened Hindu" by adopting the ideology of the BJP and RSS.
Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut defended her earlier remarks about student protests and expressed a desire to convert to a defined, awakened Hindu ideology. On X, the BJP MP from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi accused other Hindu actors of becoming leftist following marriage or association with Islamists, stating that such a change in perspective is acceptable under the Constitution.
Ranaut herself has transitioned from being a moderate Hindu to identifying as a defined and awakened Hindu, embracing the ideology of the BJP and RSS. She criticized society for judging her for her past and questioned why her path to converting to her current belief system should be closed. The Mandi MP also addressed a recent Instagram post where she targeted a Hindu woman in the industry who wears half pants and an upside-down cap, seemingly referencing actress Sonakshi Sinha.
Ranaut's comments, particularly her description of Gen-Z protestors as the "generation gutter," have sparked controversy. She has been vocal in her opposition to the Cockroach Janta Party's protests at Jantar Mantar and targeted those who have abused Prime Minister Narendra Modi or raised slogans against him during the protest.
