Kangana Ranaut has shared a selfie-style video on Instagram, revealing that she drew inspiration from Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s social media videos while defending her controversial comments about the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protesters. The actor-turned-MP reiterated that her criticism was aimed at what she considers inappropriate conduct during the demonstrations and also extended Guru Purnima greetings to her followers.Posting the video on the occasion of Guru Purnima, Ranaut maintained that her remarks were directed at what she described as “obscene behaviour” witnessed during the CJP-led protests over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. According to her, such conduct should not be accepted or treated as normal in public life.Sharing the clip on Instagram, Kangana wrote, “Taking inspiration from our PM ji and posting a selfie video. Do let me know your thoughts about my thoughts he he Also Guru Purnima ki hardik shubhkamnaein.”In the video, Ranaut said, “Maine kuch protestors ko, jo ke gutter chaap behaviour normalise kar rahe the, joh sadak par, bacchon ke saamne, maheelaaon ke saamne, buzurg ke saamne kar rahe the, maine usko normalise karne se manaa kiya. We do not accept this that hamare ghar ke bacchon ko koi ashleel harkaton se time se Pehle sexualise karde. Toh media is ganging up against me. Yeh nai bataayegi ke skyroot jaise start up ki badhaai ki. We do not accept this, hum nahi normalise karte hai iss Tarah ke behaviour ko. Skyroot jaise start up ki badhaai ki. NEET ke chaatron ko kitni badhaai di. Hamari team mein bhi Gen Z bhai behen hai joh hamare bade kaam sampan karte hai.”The ‘Queen’ actor also accused sections of the media of highlighting only the controversy surrounding her statements while overlooking what she said were her positive remarks about students and young achievers. She claimed she had praised Indian startups and congratulated NEET aspirants, adding that many youngsters around her, including members of her family and professional team, were hardworking and dedicated.Responding to criticism that questioned why women should be expected to uphold dignity and discipline, Ranaut rejected the argument, asserting that respect for social boundaries and discipline are fundamental to living in a civil society.She added further, “Kya aap apni beti ko aisa sikhayenge? Discipline mein rehna ek choice nai hai. Agar aapko samaj mein rehna hai, sanvidhaan ke hisaab se chalna padega. Iska matlab aapki aazaadi wahan puri ho jaati hai Jahan se mere naak aur kaan shuru hote hai. You can stay in your room and do what you want. Bahar aake aap mere aaradhya ko gaali nai de sakte. Chaahe woh mere bhagwaan ho, mere maa baap chaahe mere neta ho. Pradhaan Mantri ji ko exam buddy kehte hai, koi unko dost manta hai, koi bhagwaan manta hai. Aap unki feelings hurt nai kar sakte hai.”She further stated that personal freedom should not come at the cost of hurting others or violating their rights. According to Ranaut, public conduct must remain within constitutional as well as social boundaries, and people should remain sensitive to the feelings of others, whether they concern family members, religious figures or political leaders.Referring to the significance of Guru Purnima, she urged people to follow the teachings of their gurus and work towards self-improvement rather than giving in to what she described as “animalistic tendencies.” She concluded the video by wishing her followers on the occasion of Guru Purnima.Her latest remarks come amid an ongoing social media exchange with Cockroach Janata Party spokesperson Saurav Das. Earlier this week, Das criticised the actor, claiming that even members of her own political party did not take her seriously. Ranaut hit back through a series of Instagram Stories, questioning his credentials as a student, calling him “useless and unemployed,” and defending her accomplishments before entering politics.The latest exchange follows weeks of verbal sparring between Ranaut and CJP leaders over the nationwide protests triggered by alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG 2026 examination. Although the demonstrations have concluded, the public feud between the BJP MP and the student organisation has continued online.
