Vishal Dadlani: After Kangana Ranaut calls Gen-Z protests ‘puke-inducing’, Vishal Dadlani REACTS ‘You earned the gaalis’ | Hindi Movie News
Musician and singer Vishal Dadlani has publicly supported Gen-Z student protesters who’ve faced backlash over the language used in their speeches and social media handles. The criticism follows Kangana Ranaut‘s recent Instagram outburst. Responding to it, Dadlani argued that the real focus should be on how the protesters were treated, including being lathi-charged, tear-gassed, and beaten, rather than on their choice of words.
Vishal Dadlani’s instagram post
In an Instagram post on Monday, Vishal put up a sharply worded message standing up for the students. He wrote, “Bad Language!? You beat kids in the street. Pelted rocks at them, and blamed them! SHOT at them. Tear-gassed them. Pellet-gunned their fkn faces. YOUR bhaade-ke-goons are going around threatening and beating them even now! You earned the gaalis, my “fraand”.”In the caption, Vishal also called out what he termed coordinated efforts to turn public sentiment against the young protesters. He wrote, “Oh, and….Running paid story-campaigns and influencer campaigns only makes you look more pathetic,” followed by a laughing emoji.
Vishal Dadlani’s reaction to Kangana ‘s “puke-inducing” remark
Dadlani’s response came soon after BJP MP and actor Kangana faced backlash for criticising the student protesters over their conduct and the videos circulating online. On her Instagram stories, she described the clips as “puke-inducing,” writing, “Never in my life have I seen so much ugliness in one place. These reels from Gen Z protests are puke-inducing. The way they speak and the kind of language they are using... never in my life have I seen everything in each and every frame so jarring and so crass all at once.”
She further added, “India is a place of diversely beautiful people, draped in elegance and rooted in cultural sophistication. You call yourself cockroaches and look/behave like them as well. There is no paradox or juxtaposition there, just simply subjecting the world to your filth, garbage and ugliness. I am scarred from these reels. I need some healing, digital detox. I call them Generation Gutter. Some of them have nothing to offer to the system. They are not good at studies. They are so ugly and corrupt that they can’t even be homemakers”.
Kangana Ranaut receives backlashes
Ever since, Kangana has drawn criticism across social media for her disparaging remarks about the country’s youth, with many pointing out that she failed to adequately address how the protesters were treated at Jantar Mantar on July 20, during the Sansad March organised by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP).
