Bollywood’s firebrand Kangana Ranaut is back with another explosive rant, this time targeting Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman. Labeling his ‘communal’ remarks as utterly repulsive, Kangana declared she’s never encountered anyone as vile.
The controversy erupted after Rahman shared his thoughts on communal issues during an interview. What he meant as a call for tolerance was seen by Kangana as divisive propaganda. ‘Such hideous individuals masquerading as artists are dangerous,’ she posted online, igniting a firestorm of reactions.
Kangana’s post went viral within hours, drawing support from her loyal followers who admire her no-holds-barred style. ‘Finally, someone says it like it is,’ commented one fan. Critics, however, accused her of sensationalism, urging her to focus on acting instead.
Recalling Rahman’s illustrious career—from ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ to ‘Jai Ho’—it’s a stark contrast to this public shaming. Yet, Kangana argues that talent doesn’t excuse toxic views. ‘Your music might heal, but your words poison,’ she quipped.
This clash highlights deepening rifts in the film industry over ideological lines. Kangana, a vocal BJP supporter, has previously tangled with celebrities like Diljit Dosanjh and Swara Bhasker. Rahman, with his Sufi-inspired persona, represents a more apolitical stance.
Social media is abuzz with memes, debates, and defenses. Hashtags like #KanganaVsRahman are topping charts, pulling in millions of views. As tempers flare, it prompts reflection: Is Bollywood a space for activism or escapism?
While Rahman hasn’t issued a statement yet, insiders say he’s hurt by the personal attack. Kangana, undeterred, continues posting, solidifying her image as the queen of controversy. This feud could linger, affecting collaborations and public perceptions long-term.
