Kangana Ranaut sparks controversy comparing herself to SRK

on Oct 14, 2025

Kangana Ranaut has been a controversial actress ever since her debut. But she had been a motor-mouth making unnecessary comments about actors to stay in news headlines rather than delivering such big hits that he always states to be her potential. Now, she targeted, Shah Rukh Khan and compared her story to hers.

Speaking at a recent event, Ranaut stated that her rise to fame was arguably more challenging because she originated from a "remote village" in Himachal Pradesh with limited formal education and no knowledge of English. In contrast, she described Shah Rukh Khan as being "from Delhi, convent-educated," suggesting a more advantageous starting point.

While acknowledging both stars as "the biggest success stories ever" for making it as outsiders, Ranaut positioned her achievement as having overcome greater socio-economic and linguistic barriers. She also stated that she is not concerned about who would agree with her but she has made her observation with honesty.

The comments, which have quickly gone viral, underscore Ranaut's recurring narrative of highlighting her struggle against perceived industry privilege. The comparison immediately generated mixed reactions, with some supporting her emphasis on humble roots, while others found the critique of Khan's background unwarranted, given his own well-documented personal challenges and status as an industry outsider.
