Why Kangana Ranaut's curiously timed rants against fellow Bollywood stars are getting tiresome

Kangana Ranaut has spoken out (again) against ‘Bollywood’, a film fraternity that lives in the lap of luxury and suckles on general indifference towards everyday reality; and the first look of her upcoming film was released soon after. This is yet another instance of Hindi film folk being targeted on a public platform by Kangana and/or her sister, and one which is curiously timed.

Once the face of anti-nepotism and voice of genuine talent, the media and common people lauded Kangana for her outspokenness and brazen spontaneous statements when she took on Karan Johar on his gossipy talk show, Koffee with Karan. That Johar, a powerful face of Hindi films, dealt her a low-blow with Varun Dhawan on an overseas awards show, shouting out ‘nepotism rocks’, only cemented Kangana’s repute as the lone upright voice of reason in a film industry packed with clannish ties. Then she took on Hrithik Roshan for allegedly misleading her in love, washing their dirty linen (purported romantic emails) in public. In the white noise generated around Kangana’s ‘hurt’ feelings and Hrithik’s alleged muscle flexing to silence her, the core issue of adultery that the star had also committed was lost. Hrithik was married when Kangana and he reportedly had a roaring affair for years.

With popular discourse veering in support of #MeToo conversations and gender discrimination catching up, Kangana’s voice and stances on various issues stood out as unique and inspiring.

Not anymore.

Of late, Kangana Ranaut has made it a point to lampoon movie stars and film folk alike without provocation. This has come to the forefront during the CAA protests raging across Indian campuses and metro cities. An issue that goes to the heart of this country’s identity and historical culture of assimilation, CAA protests reflect a great divide between liberal thinking and right-wing values. But for Kangana, it’s worth hijacking to get attention; even if facts speak against her argument. Just a day before, she called Bollywood ‘spineless’ and cowardly for not speaking up on CAA and took a swipe at film industry insiders for having electricity and therefore being disconnected from real issues. This is her umpteenth direct response to Ranbir Kapoor’s cheeky remark to paparazzi that he has electricity, a comment that he had made in response to yet another Kangana dig at his ‘privilege’ in the past.

Adding to her dramatic reaction, and rather confusing remark, Kangana’s sister Rangoli Ranaut has been attacking Bollywood without filter on twitter. Her language is crass, remarks are below the belt and observations factually incorrect. Kangana has her sister and manager voice her opinions online regularly. This time, Rangoli has used a ‘friend’ to cite that Jamia Millia Islamia students join the ISIS; and protestors are basically stone pelting aggressors. Not once has she bothered to look at facts on ground before going on a verbally abusive rant. Most of what she has said, as is often the case, doesn’t make any sense.

Prior to Kangana, a few Hindi film folk spoke out against these protests on social media. (Also read on Firstpost: Amid nationwide CAA protests, Bollywood stays mostly mum: It's time to move from reel posturing to real action.)

Interestingly, this latest outpouring of bile online occurs around the poster release of Panga, an upcoming Kangana Ranaut film directed by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari. The strategy is obvious. Make some noise in typical Kangana rebel mode to get attention for her film. In this process, also take rude jibes at whatever person/publication/trend that doesn't align with her strategies or plan.

Consistent behavior by a massive celebrity where one picks a fight with others makes one wonder why would someone do that in the first place. Dr Chinmay Kulkarni, a Mumbai-based psychiatrist, explains, “This is attention-seeking behavior. Some people feel extremely uncomfortable when they are not the center of attention. Many celebrities in the glamour industry behave in a dramatic, socially inappropriate way. The moment their actions give them the attention they want, the reward pleasure pathway in the brain is activated. This further reinforces their attention-seeking behavior. Such people also have a distorted self-image. They need constant novelty, stimulation and get frustrated if they don’t get that. They are impulsive in nature and focus on immediate gratification..”

Dr Kulkarni’s analysis syncs in with Kangana and her sister’s tendency to aggressively ‘speak out’ and take on ‘critics’ of her blinding talent. For instance, all of 2019 has been about hitting out at Taapsee Pannu, a younger actor who has been getting meaty roles and has made impact with her performances. Pannu spoke back aggressively a few times. But citing the level of their ‘language’, she has now backed down. Rangoli also took on Alia Bhatt calling her talentless and Karan Johar flunky, but the younger star simply didn’t respond.

When provocation didn’t work, both sisters snapped out at anyone that criticised or made fun of her look as Jayalalitha in an upcoming Tamil film, Thalaivi. A case of prosthetics taking a comic turn, Ranaut’s sister ranted for a couple of days then she compared her look to Lincoln, a Steven Spielberg film starring Daniel Day Lewis, in terms of quality.

A spat with media persons in Mumbai earlier this year also provides a window into the workings of Kangana’s mind. She accused a journalist of having lunch with her and then attacking her self proclaimed masterpiece, Manikarnika. The journalists decided to ‘ban’ her for a bit and then backed out with full length interviews. But that notwithstanding, Kangana’s reactions on a public platform reflected a tendency to snatch the limelight on to herself just when a film (Judgmental Hai Kya) was set to release.

While grabbing headlines has landed her a fan following and lucrative work opportunities, her tactics are getting transparent and frankly, tiring. Students and citizens don’t really care about celebrities enough to stay loyal if they anger public sentiment. So unless Kangana has political ambitions aligned with the BJP and saffron brigade, she would do well to temper her impulsive tendencies.

She’s just doing anything to be in the news ?

Maybe any day release the nudes 🤢

Oh Snap! I have said that too before. Even Rangoli is doing her part, she did a display of acid burn victim, ahead of DPs movie poster, because she wants to make sure to get the attention, really pathetic to use herself but that is how they do it, they snap like hungry vultures at anything that moves, crawls or slinks by, if they can get 5 minutes publicity they will do it. The kangolis will dance thru hoops and they may just go and do a sister duo to show everyone a burned boob (or two bought from a cosmetic surgeon).

I am glad the media is cottoning on to her ways but wish they’d learn how to write about her self-serving rants without repeating (and therefore reinforcing) each and every baseless lie she told and insult she hurled.

So yes as you requested; I will give the kangolis credit for being unethical attention seeking psychos, I will give them credit for being hypocrites, manipulating hate mongers who use every opportunity, no matter how low to show off. I will give them credit for being unforgivably harmful to real victims, and being just plain gross low life forms.

I could go on but all that Credit may go to the kangoli duos head and already they are so full of it... a dangerous toxic explosion is never a pretty sight.

ok Credit. Her trauma happened in 2006 she has seen fit to "share" a full display on a site like twitter on 2019, 13 years later and right before Chhapaak the film is being released, and the promotions started. kangoli released her own "poster" ahead in an attempt to steal the thunder from DP, who she hates and sees as a nemesis. You and everyone else knows the well wishing from kangoli to Deepika is as full of acid as the attack.

Having been a victim in life, does NOT give anyone a license to be an a-hole and a hate monger forever after, to absolutely everyone that has the misfortune of crossing your path. I have no sympathy for the kangolis, because life has also rewarded them. According to their own code and how much they are impressed with and how they boast about money, it is sign of worth to them, as per their claims, life has given them much. So they should feel paid. Ask her why "this much hatred"...

Contrary to others I do not believe that spewing hatred, division, lies, boasting or yelling from roof tops that you are the best at everything, makes you brave or outspoken, in kangolis case because they are semi-literate, it just makes them crass loudmouths, most of the time embarrassingly so and other times dangerous, which is why I comment on this witch.

Calling them out is not hatred, and the language used has to be lowered to their standards because otherwise it goes right over their heads ( I was being kind when I said semi-literate).

No she does not know anything better than anyone, that is a fallacy, all humans eventually get their chance at suffering, however if kangana and rangoli ranaut want to claim it all, by all means I hope the universe is listening and I hereby bequeath her all the shares I am allotted.
