Kangana Ranaut Denies Requesting PM Modi for Education Minister Post

A viral post on social media claimed that actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut had requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to appoint her as India's next Education Minister after Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. The post allegedly written by Kangana stated that she had a plan for NEET, where students watching her movies in theatres would receive extra marks.

However, it has been revealed that the viral claim is completely false. Kangana Ranaut did not share any such statement or note on her official Instagram account. The post appeared convincing and was designed to resemble her social media style, but it has been identified as AI-generated content.

As of now, Kangana Ranaut has not reacted to the viral post or issued any statement regarding the claim. The Education Minister of India is Pralhad Joshi, who assumed charge of the ministry on July 25, 2026, after Dharmendra Pradhan resigned from the post.

Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation came amid nationwide protests over irregularities in the NEET examination and calls for greater accountability. The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) had called off its 36-day agitation over alleged irregularities in examinations and the NEET paper leak.

In his resignation letter, Pradhan stated that the position was not a matter of “individual prestige” for him and expressed concern over the series of developments that had unfolded over the previous 10 days.

Kangana Ranaut is set to star next in Queen 2, after being last seen in Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata. The actress has not made any official statement regarding the viral post or her interest in the Education Minister position.

The false claim has sparked a conversation about the importance of verifying information on social media before sharing it. With the rise of AI-generated content, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between real and fake news.

The Education Ministry is a critical position in the Indian government, and any changes to the ministry are closely watched by the public. The appointment of Pralhad Joshi as the new Education Minister has brought an end to the speculation surrounding the position.

In conclusion, the viral post claiming that Kangana Ranaut requested PM Modi to appoint her as Education Minister is false. The actress has not made any official statement regarding the claim, and the Education Ministry has already appointed a new minister.

The incident highlights the need for responsible social media usage and the importance of verifying information before sharing it. As the Indian government continues to navigate the challenges of education and accountability, it is essential to rely on credible sources of information and avoid spreading misinformation.

The false claim has also raised questions about the role of AI-generated content in spreading misinformation. As social media platforms continue to evolve, it is crucial to develop strategies to combat fake news and promote responsible social media usage.

The Education Ministry will continue to play a critical role in shaping India's education system, and any developments related to the ministry will be closely watched by the public. For now, the false claim about Kangana Ranaut's interest in the Education Minister position has been put to rest, and the focus will shift to the new minister and his plans for the education sector.

The Indian government has been working to improve the education system, and the appointment of a new Education Minister is a significant step in this direction. As the country continues to navigate the challenges of education, it is essential to rely on credible sources of information and avoid spreading misinformation.

In the end, the false claim about Kangana Ranaut's interest in the Education Minister position has been exposed, and the focus will shift to the new minister and his plans for the education sector. The incident highlights the need for responsible social media usage and the importance of verifying information before sharing it.
