Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut responds to comments made by Rakhi Sawant during a podcast in which Sawant addressed PM Narendra Modi and suggested that she could “also give” what Ranaut and Smriti Irani had given him. Ranaut’s reply is publicly posted and framed as a rebuttal of Sawant’s language and insinuations about her and Irani.
Ranaut says Sawant is “unsuccessful” and “bitter,” and argues that such people try to “character lynch” a “successful woman” to cope with jealousy, envy, failures and ego. She also urges women not to feel humiliated or repeatedly explain themselves after attacks. In one line of her response, Ranaut says, “all your favours combined never got you even a sweeper’s job,” adding that Sawant’s actions do not affect Ranaut’s own standing.
Across the reporting, outlets describe the dispute as rooted in the podcast exchange on MK Talks. They note the host questioned Sawant’s intent, and Sawant insisted she meant “respect,” while gestures and context were interpreted as suggestive. Both accounts characterize Ranaut’s response as personal and confrontational, while placing it in the broader context of prior public clashes between the two.
