BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut has declared she identifies as Gen Alpha, days after calling some Gen Z protesters the 'gutter generation'. In an Instagram story on Saturday, she shared a reel of a child mimicking a Gen Z influencer promoting lettuce, with the caption: 'Gen Alpha roasting Gen Z is pure gold.' She added, 'It is official I identify as Gen Alpha. Gen Alpha is like come to the point, no nonsense detected.' She also posted a video of a child dressed as a soldier with the line 'Gen Alpha is bleeding tricolour.'
Earlier, Kangana had posted a series of videos criticising protesters over the alleged NEET-UG paper leak, using harsh language against those who targeted political leaders including PM Modi. She called them 'generation gutter' and said their language was 'puke-inducing'. Days later she softened her stance, calling Gen Z 'the strength and assets of our country'. The Times of India and Hindustan Times both report the controversy as a series of evolving social media statements, with no official response from Karisma Kapoor on a separate post where Kangana called her the 'original fashionista'.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources treat this as a straight entertainment-and-social-media story, reporting Kangana's statements without adding political analysis or taking sides. The Times of India and Hindustan Times both lead with the Gen Alpha declaration and include her earlier 'gutter generation' remarks and subsequent walk-back, presenting a timeline of her evolving posts. Neither outlet editorialises about her politics or the NEET protests. The coverage is uniform wire-style reporting: facts in chronological order, no judgement. For a careful reader, the key takeaway is that Kangana's shift from condemning Gen Z to embracing Gen Alpha is presented as a personal rebranding, not a policy stance. Watch whether she addresses the NEET protest issue directly in any future post or interview.
