Kangana Ranaut Issues Public Apology to Brazilian Model, Says It Comes “On Behalf of the Indian Parliament”

The dispute gained momentum after Ranaut’s comments concerning the model drew sharp criticism across social platforms and from several public voices. Facing mounting backlash, the actor-turned-politician clarified that her statement had been misinterpreted and reiterated that hurting sentiments was never her objective. Her apology, she said, was meant not only to address the model directly but also to underscore the dignity expected from a public representative.

Ranaut’s response marks a rare moment of concession from the outspoken parliamentarian, who has often found herself at the centre of heated debates. By framing her apology as one issued “from the Indian Parliament,” she appeared to acknowledge the weight of her elected position and the broader responsibility that accompanies it. While the controversy may continue to spark discussion, her statement signals an effort to de-escalate tensions and reaffirm a commitment to respectful public discourse.
