Kangana Ranaut Questions Saurav Das' Claim Of Being A Student

Sharing a screenshot of Saurav Das' ANI interview, Kangana questioned how the 28-year-old could still describe himself as a student. At the same time, she contrasted his life with her own career milestones and years in public life.

"Googled this person and he is 28 years old, how he claims to be a student I have no clue!! Yes I am in politics for past 2 years but I have been in public life for last 20 years," she wrote.

The actor added, "At his age I had 2 National Awards, yes as a new parliamentarian I was overwhelmed with all the work because I am also a filmmaker + performing artist + producer + screen writer + entrepreneur."

Actor Defends Her Career, Calls Das 'Useless'

Continuing her response, Ranaut argued that Das could not understand the demands of managing multiple professions while remaining in the public eye.

"But someone like him who is totally useless and unemployed will never understand what it means to be in massive demand and at all times at any age," Kangana wrote.

She ended her remarks by directly addressing the CJP spokesperson.

She said, "Dear Saurav your issues are personal, you are not a student you are simply useless, let’s start with learning some skill. It’s a good place to start."

What Prompted Kangana Ranaut's Response?

Kangana's comments came after Saurav Das criticised her recent remarks about Gen Z protesters, including her description of some protesters as "Generation Gutter."

Speaking to ANI, Das questioned whether Kangana's opinions carried weight among younger generations.

"Kangana Ranaut ji ko unki party wale hi zyada nahi poochte hain, zyada seriously nahi lete hain unko, toh hum log bhi kyun seriously le?"

He further claimed that Gen Z and Gen Alpha were unlikely to take her remarks seriously.

"When woh humein 'unserious generation' bol rahi hain, toh unki khud ki seriousness unhone khud expose kar di thi," he said.

Das also urged public representatives to use measured language.

"Shabdon ka istemaal sahi hona chahiye, apni language sambhalni chahiye aur apne pad ki garima banaye rakhni chahiye," Das said.

Defending the younger generation, he added, "Aapse kahin zyada Gen Z ne is desh ke liye kiya hai aur kar rahe hain. Is desh ke democracy mein bharosa phir se jagane ka kaam Gen Z ne kiya hai, aapne nahi kiya hai."
