The controversy began when Kangana referred to a section of the younger generation as 'Generation Gutter' in a series of social media posts, criticising their use of abusive language and alleged glorification of 'drugs, drinks and endless body counts'.
Kangana shared an interaction with two young women from Gen Z during a gym session, where they discussed growing up in the digital age and balancing freedom with responsibility. According to Kangana, the young women asked her about the freedom to live their life as they want, and she responded by saying that freedom should come with accountability.
The young women agreed with Kangana that freedom needs accountability, especially in light of recent cases where the liberal and conservative ways of life have clashed, resulting in harm to children.

Kangana's comments were met with backlash, with many accusing her of being insensitive and dismissive of the concerns of the younger generation.
Despite the controversy, Kangana extended Friendship Day wishes to her 'Gen-Z friends', saying 'Peace out'.
The incident highlights the ongoing debate about the values and attitudes of different generations, and the need for greater understanding and empathy between them.
As a public figure, Kangana's comments have sparked a wider conversation about the role of social media and the impact of the digital age on young people.
