The dispute follows an earlier clash between the two women: during the controversy surrounding the CJP protests, Sawant reportedly called Ranaut a “chudail” and a “gutter mouth” over Ranaut’s comments about Gen Z.
Kangana Ranaut, a Bollywood actor and BJP MP, publicly attacked Rakhi Sawant after Sawant made suggestive remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a podcast episode on August 26. Desi Blitz reported that Ranaut accused Sawant of character assassination and told her that even favors had not earned her 'a sweeper's job.'
The clash stems from Sawant's comments during MK Talks podcast, where she questioned what Ranaut and former Union minister Smriti Irani had 'given' Modi to advance politically. DNA India noted that Sawant later claimed she meant 'love' and 'respect,' but Ranaut refused to back down, urging women not to feel pressured to defend themselves.
Sawant's Controversial Comments on the Podcast
During the August 26 episode of MK Talks hosted by Mohsin Khan, Rakhi Sawant made remarks that drew immediate backlash. UK Dunya News reported that she questioned what successful women had given Modi to advance their careers. When the host challenged her interpretation, Sawant claimed she meant 'Love! Big respect!' but her gestures suggested otherwise to observers.
Sawant's comments followed her earlier request that Prime Minister Modi give her a 'lotus.' She added, 'I'm lotus only, born in mud,' framing her remarks as spiritual rather than suggestive. However, the podcast host noted that her delivery could be interpreted in multiple ways.
Ranaut's Sharp Rebuttal and Character Attack
Kangana Ranaut responded with particular bite, telling Sawant that her alleged favors had never earned her meaningful employment or success. News X reported that Ranaut told Sawant to 'sit down and watch my reels,' a reference to her social media content. She accused unsuccessful and bitter people of attacking successful women through character assassination.
Ranaut also addressed broader issues about women in public life. Bollywood Mascot noted that she urged women not to feel compelled to explain themselves or defend against repeated attacks. She positioned her response as a defense of successful women against baseless personal attacks.
A History of Tension Between the Two Actresses
This clash is not their first. The women previously clashed during the controversy surrounding the CJP protests. Desi Blitz reported that Sawant had called Ranaut a 'chudail' and 'gutter mouth' over Ranaut's comments about Gen Z, showing an existing pattern of hostility between them.
The feud has reignited attention on social media and among Bollywood watchers. Both actresses occupy public roles—Ranaut as a BJP MP and successful actor, Sawant as a prominent television personality—making their disputes matter to their followers and critics alike.
