Kangana’s comments included criticism of their lifestyle, behaviour and choices, triggering strong reactions on social media and from political circles. Kangana later clarified that she was not referring to the entire Gen Z population. She said her comments were aimed at a particular group and claimed that her statement had been misunderstood. She specifically referred to people who allegedly identify themselves with derogatory labels and those involved in activities such as drugs, gambling and other harmful practices.

Reacting to Kangana’s controversial statement, Baba Ramdev reportedly questioned the actress’s state of mind. He described such comments as signs of mental imbalance and argued that an entire generation should not be dismissed using derogatory language. Ramdev’s reaction has attracted considerable attention because of the sharp tone of his criticism. His comments have also led to discussions about whether public figures should exercise greater restraint while speaking about young people.

Ramdev’s remarks reportedly went further, questioning whether Kangana herself should be making such sweeping judgments about an entire generation. He also made pointed references to her past and youth while criticising her choice of words. His comments have triggered fresh reactions online, with some users supporting Ramdev for calling out Kangana, while others have defended the actress and questioned why her personal past was being brought into the debate.

The controversy has also taken a legal turn. A special court in Agra has accepted a petition concerning Kangana’s remarks, with the next hearing scheduled for August 21. The complaint relates to her comments about students, parents and Gen Z during the protests. The actress has already attempted to clarify her position, insisting that she did not intend to target every young person.
