Kangana Ranaut Slams Zohran Mamdani | Calls NYC Mayoral Winner ‘More Pakistani Than Indian’

Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut has sparked controversy again, this time targeting Zohran Mamdani, son of acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair, who just made history by winning the New York City Democratic mayoral primary. In a fiery post on X, Kangana accused Mamdani of holding anti-Hindu sentiments and questioned his identity, saying he “sounds more Pakistani than Indian.” She referenced an old video allegedly showing Mamdani at a protest insulting Hindu deities and questioned what she sees as a disconnection from his Indian roots. Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist, defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo and is now set to become NYC’s first Muslim mayor, with a bold progressive agenda focused on rent freezes, universal childcare, and free public buses. Watch the full video for everything you need to know about the clash between Bollywood and U.S. politics — and the storm Kangana’s comments have stirred online.
