Today, the actor\u2019s most recent film, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/panga-review-kangana-ranaut-kabaddi-sisterhood-richa-chadda\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Panga<\/span><\/i><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">arrived in theatres to similar enthusiasm. Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari\u2019s latest stars Ranaut as Jaya Nigam, a 32-year-old former kabaddi champion readying for a comeback after seven-year hiatus, and easily seems like one of the freshest stories to watch out for this year.\n\nUnfortunately, Ranaut is also the reason that the film stands overshadowed by the theatrics on display during the film\u2019s promotion event on Thursday. At the press conference, Ranaut, flanked by her co-star <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/music\/richa-chadha-arre-siren-uss-type-ki-ladki\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Richa Chadha<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the film\u2019s director Tiwari, was asked about her views on the death penalty conferred to the 2012 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/nirbhaya-delhi-gang-rape-men\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delhi gang-rape<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> convicts. After first claiming that she would prefer if the \u201crapists were hanged publicly\u201d to \u201cset an example\u201d, she had a few harsh words for senior human rights lawyer Indira Jaising as well.\u00a0\n\nTaking affront to the anti-capital punishment activist\u2019s suggestion that the victim\u2019s mother pardon the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/chennai-gang-rape-sexual-violence-men\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gang-rape<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> convicts, Ranaut demanded that Jaising be thrown in jail with the lot of them. As Richa Chaddha noticeably squirmed in her seat, her co-actor went on to add that it was \u201cwomen like her (Jaising) who give birth to such monsters\u201d.\n\nFor an actor who has carefully pitched herself as the champion of feminism, her comments against Jaising are deeply misogynistic. Not only does she seem to crudely imply that Jaising \u201cdeserves\u201d to be raped by the convicts for the grave crime of holding an opposing view, but by saying that \u201cwomen give birth to monsters\u201d, she also appears to insist that mothers are responsible for the crimes of their children. In a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/vsirnate\/status\/1220493022888112128?s=09\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter thread<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, journalist and writer Vasundhara Singh Sirnate says, \u201cThis is the kind of language that is patriarchally conditioned&#8230; She can mimic the language of empowerment but that\u2019s because it\u2019s a saleable commodity. Her true self lies in these unscripted moments. Don\u2019t be fooled by that righteous anger against rapists on display. Her real target here was another woman, not the rapists.\u201d\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Ranaut has a knack of courting controversy ahead of a film release.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nRanaut has a knack of courting controversy ahead of a film release. Last July, during a song launch for the film <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/judgementall-kya-hai-review-kangana-ranaut-mental-health\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Judgementall Hai Kya<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Ranaut, flanked by her co-star <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/features\/how-rajkummar-rao-became-too-good-for-bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rajkummar Rao<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and producer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/satire\/ekta-kapoor-tips-game-of-throne-makers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ekta Kapoor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, called out a PTI reporter who had a question for her. She refused to answer him, accusing him of writing \u201cgandi-gandi\u201d things after the release of her directorial debut, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/manikarnika-film-review-kangana-ranaut\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manikarnika: Queen of Jhansi<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When the journalist asked the actress to clarify, Ranaut ripped into him for allegedly calling her \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/independence-day-august-15-jingoism-patriotism\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">jingoistic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d and discriminating against her for making a nationalist film.\n\nThe last few incidents are just another reminder that Ranaut has turned into just another toxic Bollywood star, the kind she once stood up against. In the past, Ranaut, ironically, has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/bollywood\/can-t-tolerate-bullying-kangana-ranaut\/story-W8r6kP9b0oGWBMbIzfeTaO.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">said<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that she doesn\u2019t mind legitimate criticism but refuses to submit to bullying. And yet, she chose to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/spider-man-far-from-home-marvel-superhero-film-fake-news-era\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">falsely<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> accuse a reporter at a public event for engineering a smear campaign against her and go all out slamming a lawyer without fully understanding the context of Jaising\u2019s admittedly ill-timed remarks.\n\nIt\u2019s especially frustrating to see Ranaut turn into an actor who goes on a mindless rant, given that she used to be known as Bollywood\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/mindy-kaling-comedy-indian-immigrant-rebel\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boldest outsider<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who had the courage to speak up against what wrong. She famously took on Karan Johar on his own show, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Koffee with Karan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, naming him as Bollywood\u2019s \u201cflag bearer of nepotism\u201d and it was clear where her sound and fury came from: She has always been a better actress than the parade of star kids who have snapped up plum roles with ease.\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>It\u2019s especially frustrating to see Ranaut turn into an actor who goes on a mindless rant, given that she used to be known as Bollywood\u2019s boldest outsider.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nSo how did Ranaut go from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/fifa-world-cup-american-superwoman-megan-rapinoe\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">national darling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to Bollywood big mouth? When she called out Hrithik Roshan for ill-treating her during a relationship, he denied that anything had ever happened between them. This led to a he-said-she-said furore, and everyone aware of the exploitation within the industry was on Team Kangana. At least, until Ranaut started bringing up her grievances with Roshan at every press event, promo appearance, and interview. But even this was excusable to those who saw her as an opinionated actress who lacked the benefits of Roshan\u2019s polished PR machinery.\n\nStill, who needs good PR when bad press will grab headlines? Aided by her sister-cum-manager Rangoli (an interesting choice for someone who claims to be anti-nepotism), Ranaut has managed to unnecessarily pick a fight with half the industry. Most recently Ragoli slammed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/jnu-protest-deepika-padukone-bollywood-ally-chhapaak-bjp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deepika Padukone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s JNU visit. \u201cOnly PR kiya JNU mein,\u201d she wrote on Twitter.\u00a0 Last year, upset that Ali Bhatt-starrer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/azaadi-gully-boy-kanhaiya-kumar\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gully Boy<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was receiving more positive attention than <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manikarnika<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Ranaut called her performance <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/women-career-supermoms-mediocre-moms-mothers-homemakers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mediocre<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, saying she was \u201cembarrassed\u201d by the comparison \u2014 and this after blaming Bhatt and other industry members like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/3-idiots-student-chatur-ramalingam-raju-rastogi-rancho-aamir-khan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aamir Khan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for not appreciating her film sufficiently. The sisters have often gotten personal, calling out Bhatt and her mother Soni Razdan for holding British citizenship and even insinuating that Bhatt and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/ranbir-kapoor-birthday-actor-bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ranbir Kapoor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> leaked photos of Ranaut riding a mechanical horse to make her look bad. These attacks are particularly hard to swallow, since Ranaut and her camp can make the most outrageous and vitriolic claims, only to be treated with kid gloves by the rest of the Bollywood fraternity.\n\nThe result is that today, Ranaut is no different from any other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/world-cup-indian-cricket-fans-hate-sanjay-manjrekar-commentary\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">self-important<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> star who can dish it out but can\u2019t take it, or any spoiled, entitled insider who made her early years in the industry such a struggle.
