Sonu Sood reacts to Kangana Ranaut’s remark
In conversation with the media, the Dabangg actor said he had not seen Ranaut’s remark but spoke about Gen Z, whom he described as the people who make stars’ careers. “I haven’t heard her statement. But I feel that these young people are the ones who make actors, and they are the ones who help you reach this position. As long as they stand by you, you will continue to thrive. If they are not with you, it becomes difficult. That’s why everyone should be taken along,” he said.
Later, after learning what Ranaut had said to the young protesters, Sood expressed his emotions and stated, “If she has said that, then I think it is very shameful. It should not have been said.”
Sonu Sood further stated that people are the second form of God. “You should always weigh your words before speaking. It is very important to think carefully before you speak, because the people are the second form of God,” the actor said.
What did Kangana Ranaut say about the young protesters?
The controversy escalated after Kangana Ranaut posted about the protesters on her Instagram story. Calling them “Generation Gutter” and pointing out their abusive language and slogans against top leaders, the actress questioned the participants’ upbringing and their parents.
The remark drew the attention of CJP spokesperson Sourav Das, who said that his party does not take her seriously. As far as he knows, Gen Z and younger audiences do not take Ranaut seriously.
On July 29, Ranaut posted an Instagram video to clarify her remarks, saying that feminazis were misdirecting the youth. She stated, “Gen Z of our country are taking us to such heights.”
