While the controversy appeared to have died down, the actress has now addressed the matter again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">In an interview with DD News, Kangana said that Ramdev was already upset with her when he was asked about her \u201cgutter-chaap\u201d remark. Referring to his comments about her childhood and youth, she said, \u201cWas Baba Ramdev hanging in my bedroom like a bat? What did he see? What exactly did he see? I don\u2019t understand.

Kangana has repeatedly objected to the ad and questioned whether similar clothing would be shown during a Muslim festival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">According to Kangana, festivals are connected to culture and traditions, and she argued that revealing outfits such as bralettes should not be worn in such advertisements.<\/p>\n<div class=\"f3e032cb\"><picture class=\"c62bd949\" style=\"visibility:visible\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.bhaskarassets.com\/webp\/thumb\/360x0\/web2images\/521\/2026\/08\/27\/dbgifmagic__67_1787806870539_1787831623652.gif\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.bhaskarassets.com\/webp\/thumb\/512x0\/web2images\/521\/2026\/08\/27\/dbgifmagic__67_1787806870539_1787831623652.gif\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bhaskarassets.com\/web2images\/521\/2026\/08\/27\/dbgifmagic__67_1787806870539_1787831623652.gif\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"f97587ba\"\/><\/picture><\/div>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Kangana Ranaut also addressed the criticism she often faces for making controversial or provocative remarks. Using an analogy, she said that the way she responds depends on the person she is dealing with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">\u201cIf there is a cockroach, you kill it with a slipper. You cannot kill it with your hands or kiss it. But if there is a butterfly, you catch it and take pictures with it,\u201d Kangana said, adding that she responds to people according to the way they speak or behave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\"><strong>\u2018I am not a BJP puppet\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Responding to claims that her statements are linked to the BJP, Kangana said she has an identity beyond politics and the party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">\u201cWhen there is too much noise, sometimes you have to raise your voice. I often make strong statements, but I don&#8217;t do it intentionally. People should remember that I am not a puppet. The BJP is with me today; whether they will be with me tomorrow is a different matter,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Kangana added that she has been an MP for two years and an artist for 20 years, and has built her own identity. \u201cIf I stand somewhere, 20 members of the press will come and listen to me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\"><strong>What was the controversy between Kangana Ranaut and Baba Ramdev?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">The controversy began after Kangana referred to Gen Z protesters as \u201cgutter-chaap\u201d. Reacting to her statement in a conversation with TV9 Bharatvarsh, Baba Ramdev criticised the actress and questioned her background.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">\u201cWhat is her qualification?

I do not want to talk about such people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Ramdev further said that calling a country&#8217;s youth or Gen Z \u201cgutter-chaap\u201d reflected a \u201cdistorted mindset\u201d. He added that senior leaders in her party should take note of her remarks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"f3e032cb\"><picture class=\"c62bd949\" style=\"visibility:visible\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.bhaskarassets.com\/webp\/thumb\/360x0\/web2images\/521\/2026\/08\/27\/kanga_png_1787146282147__1_1787831559047.png\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.bhaskarassets.com\/webp\/thumb\/512x0\/web2images\/521\/2026\/08\/27\/kanga_png_1787146282147__1_1787831559047.png\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"443\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bhaskarassets.com\/web2images\/521\/2026\/08\/27\/kanga_png_1787146282147__1_1787831559047.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"f97587ba\"\/><\/picture><\/div>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">On this, Kangana wrote on social media, &#8220;Baba ji, do not daydream about my youth or bedroom.
