Kangana Ranaut Slams Obscenity in Bollywood

JP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut sparked a fresh debate in March 2026 by strongly criticizing what she described as the growing vulgarity and obscenity in mainstream entertainment. Her remarks came amid controversy surrounding Nora Fatehi’s song ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’ from KD – The Devil. Ranaut reportedly argued that some films and music videos are crossing boundaries in the pursuit of attention, views and publicity, making certain content uncomfortable for family audiences. She also called for stronger regulation to curb obscene content in films and music videos.

Her comments have once again brought the debate over creative freedom, changing social standards and the responsibility of filmmakers toward audiences into focus. Supporters believe excessive sexualisation and objectification can influence young viewers and that entertainment can remain bold and creative without relying heavily on vulgarity. Critics, however, argue that standards of decency are subjective and that age classifications, certification systems and parental controls can offer a better balance. Ranaut’s experience as an actor and her role as an elected representative have added further weight to the discussion.
