The ideological clash between Bollywood celebrities over the ongoing nationwide CJP protests has just reached a boiling point. The internet is currently deeply divided following BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut’s explosive social media rant, where she heavily criticized the young Gen Z individuals participating in the protests, officially labeling them as “Generation Gutter.”
While her comments triggered an immediate digital war of words with protest leaders, actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood has now officially weighed in on the controversy. Known for his grounded approach and massive humanitarian work, Sonu did not hold back in condemning Kangana’s harsh language against the youth.
Here is a complete breakdown of Kangana’s viral remarks, the ongoing CJP protest drama, and Sonu Sood’s strong retaliation!
The Spark: Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Generation Gutter’ Rant
The controversy ignited when Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram Stories to react to viral reels of young protesters gathered at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar and various other locations. Expressing sheer disgust at their conduct and language, she launched a scathing attack on the younger generation.
“Never in my life have I seen so much ugliness in one place. These reels from Gen Z protests are puke-inducing,” Kangana wrote.
She further accused the young protesters of misusing their freedom, stating that they openly glorify substance abuse while remaining financially dependent on their families. Escalating her attack, she specifically targeted young women participating in the movement:
“Here is a new generation of so-called westernized Indian women. I call them Generation Gutter. Some of them have nothing to offer to the system. They are not good at studies, but they are so ugly and corrupt that they cannot be homemakers either. Yet they proudly flaunt their freedom to have drugs, drinks, or endless body counts.”
Her statements instantly sparked massive outrage, drawing immediate retaliation from CJP spokesperson Saurav Das and founder Abhijeet Dipke.
Sonu Sood Reacts: “It Is Very Shameful”
During a recent press interaction, the media asked Sonu Sood for his thoughts on the escalating digital war and Kangana’s specific comments. While the actor admitted he had not initially read her full statement, he strongly emphasized that public figures owe their entire success to the youth and the general public.
“I feel that these young people are the ones who make actors, and they are the ones who help you reach this position,” Sonu explained. “As long as they stand by you, you will continue to thrive. If they are not with you, it becomes difficult. That’s why everyone should be taken along.”
However, when a reporter specifically informed him about the “Generation Gutter” label, Sonu’s reaction was swift and critical.
“If she has said that, then I think it is very shameful. It should not have been said,” the actor remarked firmly.
