11th June 2023,Mumbai: In a recent turn of events, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has stirred up controversy by using strong language to criticize actor Ranbir Kapoor’s casting as Lord Ram in the upcoming film adaptation of Ramayana directed by Nitesh Tiwari. Ranaut referred to Kapoor as a “skinny white rat who desperately needs some sun tan” and a “pale-looking druggie soy boy.” This choice of words has left internet users both questioning and intrigued by Ranaut’s language choices.
When news broke about Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt playing the roles of Ram and Sita, respectively, in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram Stories to voice her disagreement. In her post, she wrote, “Recently I have been hearing news about another Bolly Ramayana, where a skinny white rat (so-called actor) who desperately needs some sun tan and conscience is infamous for doing nasty underhand PR about almost everyone in the industry… known for womanizing and drug addiction after desperately trying to prove himself Lord Shiva in a trilogy (which no one watched or wants to make more parts of) has now grown fancy to be Lord Rama.”
Reddit users were quick to respond to Kangana’s remarks, with one person remarking, “Her insults are so creative.” Another commenter praised Ranaut’s talent with adjectives, stating, “Pale-looking soy youngster who uses drugs. Kangana is talented with adjectives.” However, some were left perplexed by the choice of words, with one user questioning, “Skinny White Rat? Where on earth does she come up with these names, I wonder? I will never view Ranbir in the same way again.” Kangana’s previous insult of referring to someone as an “ubla hua anda” (boiled egg) was also recalled by a Reddit user.
The use of terms such as “Soy Boy” by Kangana Ranaut left one Reddit member in utter disbelief, exclaiming, “Never in my life would I ever anticipate the prospect of Kangana Ranaut using the term ‘Soy Boy’.” Another commenter compared Ranaut to Azealia Banks, a singer known for her controversial language, stating, “Kangana is really the Azealia Banks of Bollywood.” Some appreciated Ranaut’s upfront approach, as one person noted, “Wow people, Kangana is nastier since she uses vulgar words upfront instead of doing it through her PR team. She’s a real live landmine that just keeps giving (and blasting).” The source of Ranaut’s unique insults continues to baffle readers, as one comment reads, “Where did she get the words ‘skinny white rat’ and ‘druggie soy boy’ from?”
In other news related to the Ramayana adaptation, Alia Bhatt has been confirmed to play the character of Sita, while Ranbir Kapoor has been involved in look testing for his role as Ram. Yash, the star of KGF, is reportedly still in negotiations for the role of Raavan but has not yet signed a contract. Kangana Ranaut had previously mentioned her belief that Yash would be a perfect fit for the role of Ram in the movie.
