Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has hit back at Rakhi Sawant after the latter made controversial remarks involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kangana and Union minister Smriti Irani during a recent podcast appearance. Kangana strongly criticised Rakhi, accusing her of targeting successful women to justify her own failures and frustrations.

Rakhi Sawant's remarks on PM Modi spark controversy

The controversy began after Rakhi appeared on the podcast MK Talks, where she made a remark about PM Modi while referring to Kangana and Smriti. Rakhi said, "Why is Modi ji looking here and there? What will he get from Kangana apart from bones? Modi ji, what have these Smriti, Kangana and all these women given you that you made them ministers? So whatever they gave you, I can also give you."

When the host questioned what she meant by the statement, Rakhi responded, "What? Love! Big respect!" She later clarified that she was referring to "respect", adding, "These people gave respect; I will also give you respect, Modi ji."

Rakhi recently debuted in Hania Aamir's music video Pablo.

Rakhi's comments quickly drew attention online, prompting Kangana to respond through social media. Taking aim at what she described as attempts to publicly attack successful women, Kangana wrote, "Not just her but most unsuccessful and bitter people are quick to character lynch a successful women to satisfy and justify their jealousy/envy, failures and ego but high time we stop being vulnerable to such frequent, intentional attacks and public character-assassination."

Kangana also urged women not to allow such remarks to humiliate or hurt them, while asking them to stop constantly explaining themselves. She then directly addressed Rakhi and took a sharp dig at her career, writing, "So yes my loves!! Even you are ready to do everything for success but guess what!! unfortunately no one needs anything from you."

She continued her attack, saying, "Remember all your favours combined never got you even a sweeper's job, even that needs some quality and talent." Kangana concluded her post by telling Rakhi, "So be rest assured favours or no favours you aren't going anywhere, so sit down watch my reels and keep crying." Rakhi hasn't reverted to the scathing remark yet.
