Kangana Ranaut slams youth for not knowing India's President name, says, "War won’t kill us but grasshopper brain will"

Kangana Ranaut has once again stirred social media with her unfiltered commentary, this time targeting the younger generation's apparent lack of general knowledge. The actress-turned-politician shared a viral video on her Instagram stories, expressing her dismay at young people's inability to name India's current President, Droupadi Murmu.

The video, originally posted by Instagram page Gen Z Pulse, features an anchor quizzing a group of young girls about the President of India. The responses were startlingly inaccurate, with one girl suggesting "Murunali" and another mistakenly naming Ram Nath Kovind. Further adding to the confusion, one participant even cited Jawaharlal Nehru, claiming he was the first President, despite being corrected by the interviewer that they were asking for the current President.

The actress’s criticism reflects a broader societal concern about the declining awareness of current affairs among the youth. Her reference to "war" likely alludes to her vocal stance on national security and her strong nationalist views.

The original video, which gained traction in April, has now been amplified by Ranaut's platform, sparking further debate. The incorrect answers, including the confusion over the President's gender and the misidentification of historical figures, have ignited discussions about the state of education and general awareness among young adults.
