Kangana Ranaut in legal trouble over ‘gutter’ remark on Gen Z protesters; later clarifies: ‘Cockroach would live in…’
Kangana Ranaut had criticised the protests held at Jantar Mantar over NEET irregularities and condemned the behaviour and language used by some protesters.
A lawsuit has been filed against actress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kangana Ranaut for her controversial "gutter" remark directed at students protesting over irregularities in the NEET examination. The legal action, filed by Rajeev Gandhi Bar Association president Advocate Ramashankar Sharma, asserts that the BJP MP insulted the country's students and their parents by labeling them the "gutter generation".
Kangana later clarified her remarks, stating that her comments were aimed at individuals who self-identify as "cockroaches" rather than all young people. She explained that if someone claims to be a cockroach, it is natural for them to live in a gutter. Ranaut emphasized that she would reject being labeled a "cockroach" and denied living in a gutter herself. The court is set to hear the case on August 21.
