Kangana Says She Wants to Be an Awakened Hindu

Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, who was recently in the news for calling Gen Z protesters "generation gutter", on Monday said she used to be a moderate Hindu and now wants to "convert" and become an awakened Hindu.

In a video on Instagram, the latest in a series, Ranaut criticised those questioning her present stance on issues given her past as an actor. "I am taunted, 'When did you become a Sanghi?' I want to become a Sanghi. I want to convert to the BJP and RSS ideology, which is



an awakened Hindu. Why can't I?

"When it comes to Hindu daughters, then so called custodians of society... start looking into our life from a decade ago and say, 'You used to party, you used to do this.' 

Yes, I used to but now I want to convert. Why is that door closed for me?" The MP from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh said she did not want to defend her past but pointed out that she had fought for issues like pay parity, against nepotism and item numbers.
