Kangana Ranaut has once again found herself in the middle of a social media conversation involving Abhijeet Dipke. The actress and BJP MP shared a video on her Instagram Stories that compared her English-speaking skills with those of Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party.
The post appeared to be a response to recent discussions around Dipke's English-speaking style. The video compared a public statement by Dipke with an older speech by Kangana, while suggesting that the actress, despite being a school dropout, spoke English more confidently.
What Video Did Kangana Share?
The video shared by Kangana begins with Abhijeet Dipke speaking in English during a public appearance. It then cuts to Kangana delivering a speech in English about her experience as a woman working in the film industry.
The caption accompanying the comparison claimed that there was a difference between the English spoken by the two personalities, using Kangana's educational background and Dipke's association with Boston University as part of the comparison.
Kangana did not simply share the clip without comment. Her own accompanying message made it clear that she wanted viewers to remember how she had been treated earlier in her career because of her English.
Kangana Recalls Being Mocked for Her English
Kangana has spoken openly in the past about struggling with English when she entered Bollywood.
According to her, her lack of fluency became a reason for people in the film industry to mock or look down on her. She has previously recalled an appearance on Koffee With Karan where she felt she was mocked for the way she spoke English.
In the latest post, she revisited that part of her journey and argued that despite facing humiliation at a young age, she managed to maintain her confidence and dignity.
Her message appeared to be less about language itself and more about the way people use English as a measure of intelligence or social status.
Kangana Says Her Past Experiences Made Her Stronger
The actress has often described her early years in Bollywood as difficult.
Coming from Himachal Pradesh and entering an industry where she initially struggled with language and social expectations, Kangana has frequently spoken about having to learn things on her own.
Her latest post followed the same narrative. She highlighted the fact that she was able to develop her communication skills despite not coming from an English-speaking elite background.
For Kangana, the comparison with Abhijeet Dipke appears to have become another opportunity to underline that point.
Who Is Abhijeet Dipke?
Abhijeet Dipke is the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, a political group that has recently attracted attention through its social media activities and comments on current political issues.
Dipke has also been involved in a number of online exchanges with Kangana in recent weeks.
Earlier, he had responded to comments made by the actress about Gen Z and student protests. His remarks about Kangana subsequently became part of the ongoing social media back-and-forth between the two.
The Latest Exchange Comes After Earlier Criticism
The disagreement between Kangana and Dipke is not new.
In July, Dipke had dismissed Kangana's remarks about Gen Z and questioned whether people took her statements seriously. The exchange received attention on social media, with both sides continuing to comment on the other's statements.
Kangana has also criticised other members and supporters associated with Dipke's organisation.
Her latest post therefore appears to be another chapter in an increasingly public disagreement.
Kangana Ranaut’s English Journey
Kangana's relationship with the English language has been discussed throughout her career.
When she entered Bollywood, she was frequently described as an outsider who did not fit the conventional image of a Hindi film heroine. Her accent, English and background were subjects of discussion in the media.
Over time, however, she became one of the industry's most outspoken actors and eventually moved into filmmaking and politics.
She has often used her personal journey as an example of how people can overcome disadvantages and build successful careers.
From Actress to Politician
Kangana's career has expanded significantly since her early days in Bollywood.
She won the National Film Award for performances in Fashion and Queen, among other recognitions, and later turned towards filmmaking with projects such as Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and Emergency.
In 2024, she entered electoral politics and won the Lok Sabha election from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh. She is now balancing her political responsibilities with her public life in the entertainment industry.
That combination has made her social media statements closely watched.
Kangana’s Earlier Dig at Dipke
This is also not the first time Kangana has criticised people associated with the Cockroach Janta Party.
Last month, she responded to comments made by CJP spokesperson Saurav Das about her work as an MP. Kangana questioned his background and compared her own achievements at his age with his public criticism of her.
Her latest post about Dipke follows a similar style, using her own career journey to respond to criticism.
The Debate Is Bigger Than English
While the social media post focuses on English, the larger issue behind the exchange is about education, confidence and public image.
Kangana's supporters have used the video to argue that formal education does not automatically guarantee better communication skills. Critics, meanwhile, may view the comparison as unnecessary or personal.
The debate also highlights how language continues to carry social and cultural significance in India, particularly among public figures.
Abhijeet Dipke Has Not Been Shown Responding to This Post
At the time of the latest reports, the focus has remained on Kangana's Instagram Story and the video she shared. There has not been a widely reported direct response from Dipke to this specific comparison.
Given their earlier exchanges, however, the latest post could lead to another round of reactions online.
For now, Kangana appears to have made her point clearly: she believes her journey from struggling with English to confidently speaking it publicly is something she can take pride in.
And by sharing the comparison with Abhijeet Dipke, she has once again turned a personal criticism into a larger statement about confidence, background and the assumptions people make based on education.
