Kangana Ranaut: The Queen of Controversies and Bold Statements , The Release of her film “Emergency” postponed -Dzire News

Dzire News New Delhi– Kangana Ranaut, a famous Bollywood actress and now a Member of Parliament (MP), is no stranger to controversy. Known for her fearless attitude and outspoken nature, Kangana has always made headlines, often for her bold statements and candid interviews. Recently, as she prepares for the release of her film Emergency, where she plays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Kangana has once again found herself in the spotlight, making several controversial remarks that have left the public both amused and confused.Kangana Ranaut says the censor board has not given the certificate to her for the upcoming movie “Emergency” and hopes that it comes on time otherwise she is determined to fight for it and go to court for her movie.In a video message shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, Ranaut clarified the situation, stating, “There are rumours that our film Emergency has got a censor certificate. It is not true. In fact, our film was cleared earlier but its certification has been stopped because of several threats.”

Kangana Ranaut was born on March 23, 1987, in a small town in Himachal Pradesh. She made her Bollywood debut in 2006 with the film Gangster, which earned her critical praise and marked the beginning of a successful career. Over the years, Kangana played in several hit films like Fashion (2008), Queen (2014), and Tanu Weds Manu (2011), establishing herself as one of the most talented actresses in the industry.

However, Kangana’s journey in Bollywood has not been without its challenges. She has often spoken about the struggles she faced in the male-dominated industry, including being sidelined and typecast. Despite these obstacles, Kangana’s determination and talent helped her rise to the top.
Kangana Ranaut is well-known for speaking her mind, often without filtering her thoughts. As she promotes her upcoming film Emergency, her recent interviews have been filled with statements that have raised debates and invited criticism. Freedom in 2014: In an interview on August 28, 2024, Kangana was asked about a statement she made in 2021, where she claimed that India received “bheek” (a charity) in 1947 and that true freedom came only in 2014 with the election of the Narendra Modi-led BJP. Kangana explained that her comment was based on her personal experiences. She shared that, despite early successes in her career, she struggled for work and eventually moved to the United States, feeling that the system in India forced talented people like her to leave the country. However, she returned after the success of her film Queen in 2014, which she described as her moment of true freedom. Criticism of Foreign Actresses: Kangana also took aim at foreign actresses working in Bollywood, using Katrina Kaif as an example. She claimed that before 2014, foreign actresses were doing exceptionally well, but after 2014, the audience preferred only Indian actresses, actors, and stories. She linked this change to a shift in the country’s leadership, saying that people wanted to end the dominance of foreigners. Subhas Chandra Bose as the First Prime Minister: Earlier this year, Kangana sparked controversy by mistakenly referring to Subhas Chandra Bose as India’s first prime minister. In a recent interview, she defended her statement, saying that Bose formed the Azad Hind Fauj and that his contributions could not be damaged. She also attacked her critics, suggesting that those who disagreed with her lacked the intelligence to understand different perspectives. Ram Nath Kovind as “Covid”: While discussing reservations on a YouTube channel, Kangana mistakenly referred to former President Ram Nath Kovind as “Ram Nath Covid.” When corrected by the anchor, she apologized for the error but continued to argue her point about the importance of reservations. Opposition to Caste Census: Kangana also voiced her opposition to the caste census, organising her views with those of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. She argued that focusing on caste divisions would only lead to destruction and that it was unnecessary to categorize people by caste when society should be united. Comments on the Farmers’ Protest: During an interview, Kangana suggested that a “Bangladesh-like situation” could have occurred in India during the farmers’ protest against the cancelled farm laws if not for strong leadership. She blamed that bodies were hanging, and rapes were taking place during the protest, which she claimed was part of a disloyalty involving China and the United States. Her remarks were widely criticized, even by members of her own party, the BJP, which distanced itself from her statements. Comparisons to Oppenheimer and Macbeth: Kangana boldly compared her film Emergency to Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Shakespeare’s Macbeth. She described Emergency as a modern-day Shakespearean tragedy, emphasizing that her film explores the complexities of Indira Gandhi’s character rather than portraying her in a simplistic manner.
Kangana Ranaut started a new controversy by saying that the farmers’ protests could have caused a crisis in India, similar to what happened in Bangladesh. After her strong remarks, she faced a lot of anger in Amritsar, Punjab. Farmers took to the streets to protest against the BJP MP. The Kisan Sangharsh Committee burned a dummy of Kangana Ranaut and raised slogans against her.

Kangana Ranaut’s power to speak her mind, regardless of the consequences, is a major reason why she often finds herself in between controversies. Her boldness, while admired by some, often leads to misunderstandings and reactions. Kangana’s willingness to challenge the status existing and question established norms also puts her at odds with many, including powerful figures in the film industry and politics.
Kangana Ranaut recently defended a controversial social media post from 2020, where she called actor Ranbir Kapoor a “serial skirt chaser.” In a recent interview, Kangana stood by her statement without hesitation. Although the two actors have never worked together, Kangana has often criticized Ranbir, especially for what she sees as his family connections in the film industry.In the trailer of the latest episode of Aap Ki Adalat, journalist Rajat Sharma asked Kangana about her comment on Ranbir. Kangana responded with a laugh, saying, “You’re talking as if he is Swami Vivekanand.”

In her tweet from August 2020, Kangana Ranaut said that the Hindi film industry only insults “extraordinary outsiders who come from small towns and simple families.” She also said, “Ranbir Kapoor is a serial skirt chaser, but no one dares to call him a rapist. Deepika openly talks about her mental health struggles, but no one calls her a psycho or a witch.”
The promo shows the host talking about Kangana calling Karan Johar “Chacha Chaudhary.” Kangana says she didn’t start the fight. She would have stayed quiet if she hadn’t been provoked, but she decided to reply because she was pushed.
Moreover, her strong political opinions, especially her support for the BJP, have made her a polarizing figure. While her supporters praise her for being fearless and unapologetic, her critics blame her of being careless and insensitive.
Kangana Ranaut remains one of the most talked-about personalities in India, not only for her acting talent but also for her unfiltered opinions and controversial statements. As she gears up for the release of Emergency, there is no doubt that Kangana will continue to be in the spotlight, sparking debates and discussions across the country. Whether one agrees with her or not, Kangana’s ability to provoke thought and shake emotions is definite, making her a attractive figure in the world of Indian cinema and politics.

Kangana Ranaut expressed her disappointment with the censor board for revoking the certificate given to ‘Emergency’ following petitions against the film. The release of Kangana Ranaut’s new film “Emergency” has been postponed amid a huge controversy over the portrayal of the Sikh community in it. The release of the trailer had caused a furore in Punjab and the film is yet to get a green signal from the Certification Board. The film’s release was due on September 6, which has now been pushed back. Sources said the film board has asked for more cuts. The board has said it would take into account the sentiments of every community.
