Kangana Ranaut has once again ignited controversy with her recent allegations regarding the dark web and its purported misuse within the film industry. Taking to Instagram amidst discussions spurred by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (TRAI) recommendation for mandatory caller ID displays, the outspoken actress raised concerns about the darker side of the internet. Without specifying names, Ranaut claimed that several “popular film personalities” are involved in activities ranging from accessing illegal content to hacking into communications platforms like WhatsApp and emails. Urging action against these practices, she emphasized the importance of governmental intervention to address the issue, suggesting that significant revelations could emerge if the dark web were to be effectively targeted.
This isn’t the first instance of Ranaut making contentious claims related to the film industry. From accusing the “film mafia” of hacking her accounts to insinuating surveillance by a fellow actor, her outspoken nature has often brought her into the spotlight. Despite the controversies, the 36-year-old actress remains actively engaged in the industry, with recent releases such as “Tejas” and an upcoming directorial venture titled “Emergency,” where she portrays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Additionally, fans can anticipate her reunion with R Madhavan in an upcoming project, showcasing her continued presence in Bollywood despite the controversies surrounding her statements.
