The buzz around Kangana Ranaut vs EVERYONE: Why does Bollywood’s ‘moral referee’ have an opinion on Kriti, Taapsee, Sonu Sood and almost everybody else? refuses to die down. From social media chatter to box office projections, everyone in the industry seems to have an opinion — and the latest update only strengthens the conversation.

The Story So Far

Add as a preferred source on Google There was a time when a Bollywood controversy involving Kangana Ranaut usually began with Kangana Ranaut. She would take on a filmmaker, question nepotism, attack an industry practice or make a provocative statement that dominated entertainment headlines for days. Increasingly, however, something else seems to be happening.

A controversy can begin with somebody completely unrelated to Kangana and, sooner or later, she somehow becomes a part of it. The latest example is Kriti Sanon's much-discussed Raksha Bandhan advertisement. Kriti was already being panned on social media over the bralette-style blouse she wore in the campaign and over what some viewers felt was an overly modern interpretation of a traditional festival.

Then Kangana entered the debate. Questioning the campaign, Kangana asked why someone would tie a rakhi to her brother dressed in what she described as a bikini/undergarments. She also called the advertisement intentionally creepy.

Almost immediately, the narrative changed. What had been a Kriti Sanon advertising controversy was now being reported as a Kangana Ranaut versus Kriti Sanon controversy. Kriti subsequently responded to the criticism without naming Kangana.

She asked when society would stop telling women what to wear and argued that culture and traditions reside in a woman's heart, not in her neckline. Suddenly, the argument was no longer merely about an advertisement. It had turned into a wider debate about clothing, culture and who gets to decide what constitutes an appropriate way for a modern Indian woman to celebrate a festival.

But the more fascinating aspect is how quickly Kangana became one of the central characters in a controversy that had initially had nothing to do with her. And Kriti isn't an isolated example. Barely before this, Kangana's seven-year-old feud with Taapsee Pannu found another lease of life.

Taapsee was asked about their differences and pointed out that, despite years of headlines linking them, the two had actually never met. While explaining why their outlooks differed, Taapsee referred to differences in upbringing and communication. Kangana interpreted the remark as an attack on her family.

The old sasti copy jibe returned, along with a dig at Taapsee's highly anticipated movie Gandhari. Taapsee's subsequent two-word reaction, "Hence proved", ensured that yet another chapter of their feud travelled across social media. At this point, Kangana versus Taapsee almost feels like one of Bollywood's longest-running franchises, despite the two actresses apparently never having revealed a room.

Around the same period, Kangana also referred publicly to Sonu Sood, Ashutosh Rana, Rakhi Sawant and others while responding to people she believes repeatedly criticise her. She argued that people who hadn't achieved even a fraction of her success had no business advising her and accused some of using her name merely to gain attention.

Kangana has every right to express an o…
