Ranaut said both Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi were being “tortured” by their mother to stay in politics, and they should have been allowed to lead their own lives..
What Priyanka Gandhi replied to her comments?
“We are thankful that she is talking about us, but do you want me to reply to every nonsense she utters?”, the Congress leader asked while an interview with same media platforms where Kangana targeted her & family.
When asked about the actor’s remarks, Priyanka Gandhi declined to comment and redirected attention to other pressing issues. She launched a strong critique against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, denying any attacks on Sanatan Dharma by the Congress.

Kangana Ranaut also fired on Surjewala’s sexist remark on BJP MP Hema
“Their (Congress leaders’) mentality is such that they insult me, (BJP MP) Hema Malini, Jayaprada and other women irrespective of their age or marital status. We wonder how low they can stoop,” Ranaut said while addressing poll rallies in Seraj and Banjar assembly segments.
She also said that despite being above 50 years of age, Rahul Gandhi was always being “relaunched” as a youth leader. “I feel he is being pressured and is very lonely,” she said.
The actor, who hails from Mandi, further said that the Congress scion should have been allowed to pursue some other profession and could have tried his hand at acting.
