  "account": "Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has responded to actress Kangana Ranaut's recent criticism, stating he does not wish to escalate the matter. Commenting on Kangana's remarks about Gen Z, Ramdev said he did not want to comment further, noting that the country is aware of his identity and contributions. In a post on X, Ramdev explained, \"I don't want to escalate the matter. The country knows who is Swami Ramdev, what is my contribution, that is why I don't want to comment on such people.\" This reaction follows Ramdev's earlier criticism of Kangana during an interview over her comments targeting Gen Z, in which he described her view of the younger generation as \"distorted.\" When informed that Kangana practices yoga and identifies as a Sanatani, Ramdev questioned whether praising his yoga meant he should \"cover up their sins.\" Kangana responded sharply on Instagram, accusing Ramdev of making assumptions about her personal life and refusing to be lectured about her character. The latest exchange indicates that Ramdev intends to avoid further public confrontation with Kangana.",
