Actress Kangana Ranaut said she once protested against a teacher who used physical punishment on students and has now endorsed Isha Koppikar's criticism of the term 'andhbhakt'.
In a recent interview, Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut recounted a childhood incident where she joined a protest against a school teacher who was known to hit children as a form of discipline. She said the episode left a lasting impression about the need to stand up against abuse in educational settings.
Ranaut explained that the protest was organized by a group of students and parents who demanded the teacher's removal, highlighting her early involvement in activism.
She also expressed solidarity with fellow actress Isha Koppikar, who had publicly labeled certain political supporters as 'andhbhakt' in a recent statement. By backing Koppikar's remark, Ranaut signaled her agreement with the criticism of blind allegiance in public discourse.
The comments come as both actors continue to be vocal on social issues, drawing attention from media and fans across the country.
