Ramdev<\/a>‘s comments about her.<\/p>\nIn an Instagram post, she said the yoga guru had \u201ccrossed every boundary of decency\u201d and accused him of making inappropriate remarks about a woman.<\/p>\n
She also rejected what she described as attempts to give her lessons about her character.<\/p>\n
\u201cTumse toh bahut zayada behtar hai mera character,\u201d Ranaut wrote, meaning, \u201cMy character is much better than yours.\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor-turned-politician also claimed that Ramdev was attempting to gain publicity by targeting her, escalating the exchange beyond the original dispute over her \u201cGeneration Gutter\u201d comments.<\/p>\n
Why Patanjali became part of the argument<\/p>\n
Ranaut did not stop at responding to Ramdev’s remarks about her.<\/p>\n
She also invoked controversies surrounding Patanjali, the consumer goods company associated with Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna, specifically referring to the company’s legal troubles over misleading advertising claims.<\/p>\n
Ranaut contrasted what she described as \u201crumours and gossip\u201d about her with the Patanjali case, pointing out that she had never been reprimanded by the Supreme Court over similar claims.<\/p>\n
Her reference was to proceedings involving Patanjali Ayurved’s advertising practices.<\/p>\n
In 2024, Ramdev and Balkrishna issued a public apology in newspapers after the Supreme Court took issue with the company’s failure to comply with previous undertakings concerning misleading advertisements. They expressed regret and assured the court that the lapse would not be repeated.<\/p>\n
By bringing that history into the argument, Ranaut effectively turned Ramdev’s criticism back towards his own public controversies.<\/p>\n
Ramdev’s response to the latest attack<\/p>\n
Ramdev has so far taken a more restrained approach to Ranaut’s latest comments.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe people of this country know who Swami Ramdev is and what his contribution has been,\u201d he said, adding that he did not want to make remarks about people of such stature.<\/p>\n
His response came after Ranaut had accused him of crossing the line with his remarks about women and said he needed to reflect on his perspective.<\/p>\n
The dispute has therefore evolved considerably from the original \u201cGeneration Gutter\u201d controversy. What began as a disagreement over Ranaut’s description of protesters has now become a public exchange involving accusations about personal conduct, character and past controversies.<\/p>\n
For Ranaut<\/a>, her latest \u201cmy character is better than yours\u201d remark represents another attempt to turn criticism directed at her back on the person making it. Ramdev, meanwhile, appears to be choosing not to prolong the personal exchange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HighlightsKangana Ranaut and Baba Ramdev have become embroiled in a public war of words following her \u201cGeneration Gutter\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604263,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[256131,63064,321,93,65624,61,60,26861],"class_list":["post-604262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-advertising-controversy","tag-baba-ramdev","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-feud","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-kangana-ranaut"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
