From "Generation Gutter" to National Asset: Kangana Ranaut's Sudden Shift on Gen Z ProtestersRanaut slams Rahul Gandhi for skipping Ranchi visit amid student protests over exam irregularities. BJP MP Kangana Ranaut did an about-face on Friday, praising Gen Z protesters just days after sparking outrage by branding them "generation gutter." Ranaut echoed this, saying she respected Bhagwat's perspective and welcomed the younger generation's engagement with cultural values. Ranaut argued that Gen Z broadly supports the government's agenda and shouldn't be judged by a small, abusive minority. She suggested only a handful of individuals — not the generation as a whole — were responsible for damaging its reputation.
