Kangana Ranaut On Praising Vikrant Massey After Calling Him ‘Cockroach’

Actress Kangana Ranaut’s latest released film Emergency, has been receiving rave reviews after multiple delays. Recently, she opened up about her past comment where she referred to actor Vikrant Massey as a ‘cockroach’. Clarifying her remark, she stated that she is nobody to judge him or anyone.

In December 2024, Kangana watched Vikrant’s The Sabarmati Report at the Parliament Library Building in Delhi, which was also attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After watching the film, Kangana praised it, describing it as a “very important” film.

Speaking on Shubhankar Mishra’s Unplugged podcast, Kangana said, “When I saw The Sabarmati Report, I told him that I liked his work. We must understand that every person has the potential to change. We shouldn’t cage them or label them. Doing that is the biggest toxicity in Hindi cinema.”

She added, “They want to label everyone, and then just stop interacting or communicating with people not aligning to them.”

Further, Kangana said, “Who am I to judge him or anyone? Whatever capacity they are engaging with me, I will respond accordingly. There is a chance that he (Vikrant) can go back to feeling the way he did before the film. But having said that, it is much better than being so strict with your ideology that it makes you feel constricted and caged.”

It all began after in 2021, when Vikrant commented on Yami Gautam’s photo, writing, “Pure & Pious like Radhe Maa!” in one of the pictures from her wedding with Aditya Dhar.

In response, Kangana wrote, “Kahan se nikla ye cockroach..lao meri chappal. (From where did this cockroach come. Someone get my slipper).”
