The Story in Brief
Kangana Ranaut on Thursday defended her “Generation Gutter” remark, saying the NEET-UG protest at Jantar Mantar included many older people. On Instagram Stories, she said “Shabana Azmi-type” protesters made up more than half of the 10,000-strong crowd, with only 2,000 from Gen Z.
She argued that the gathering could not be labelled a Gen Z protest when other age groups were present. She challenged critics to find a quote where she directed the comment at all youth, insisting she spoke only about the demonstrators.

The “Generation Gutter” remark was always aimed at a specific crowd, not all young Indians. Kangana’s claim that Shabana Azmi-type protesters were present challenges the narrative that this was purely a Gen Z outpouring. But her numbers, 2,000 out of 10,000, demand proof. Will she release video evidence of the age mix? Until then, both sides are trading guesses.
