Kangana Ranaut Praises Generation Z as India's Strength After Earlier Criticism
Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut reversed her earlier criticism of Generation Z, now praising them as a vital strength and cultural asset of India. Speaking outside Parliament, she emphasized that only a small group misrepresents the generation, while most contribute positively, citing student protests in Jharkhand and athletes dedicating medals to Prime Minister Modi. Ranaut echoed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's supportive remarks and criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for not engaging with protesting students. She urged youth to participate constructively beyond social media.
