Kangana Ranaut
Actor politician Kangana Ranaut made headlines once again with her candid remarks at the Rising Bharat Summit 2026 in Mumbai. Known for her outspoken views on the film industry, Kangana did not hold back during a rapid fire session where she was asked to choose between several prominent filmmakers.
When prompted to pick the better director among Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap and Aditya Chopra, Kangana declined to select any of them. Instead, she remarked that her standards in filmmaking and acting were not that low, suggesting she did not align creatively with the choices presented. Her response drew attention for its sharp tone and apparent swipe at some of Bollywood’s most influential names.
