Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Bollywood actress and MP Kangana Ranaut has launched a fresh broadside against multiple celebrities including Taapsee Pannu, Sonu Sood, Rakhi Sawant, Ashutosh Rana and Baba Ramdev. Speaking to the media on Monday, Ranaut accused them of targeting her for media attention and making derogatory remarks about her parents and character. M9.news reports the feud with Pannu dates back to 2019 and resurfaced after Pannu said in an interview she had never met Ranaut in person. Ranaut called her critics "failed, stupid and disgusting" and said she would not take advice from people less successful than her. The Times of India quotes her as saying such comments would not be tolerated and that "enough is enough". She singled out Baba Ramdev for allegedly making inappropriate remarks about women while wearing clothes associated with Sanatan Dharma. The latest exchange has divided social media users, with some supporting Ranaut and others criticising her for being overly focused on the issue.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

M9.news frames the story as a long-running personal feud and a social media spectacle, leading with drama and past history. The Times of India presents it as a political celebrity making a broad, news-worthy attack on multiple public figures, listing each name and quoting her directly. M9 leaves out Ramdev, Sood and Rana entirely. The balanced reading is that Ranaut used a single media interaction to target a wider set of critics, not just one ongoing spat. The real news is the list of names and her political position as an MP attacking fellow public figures. The next development to watch is whether any of the named celebrities respond publicly and whether this affects Ranaut's parliamentary duties.
