Kangana Ranaut Defends Y+ Security Amidst Political Controversy
Kangana Ranaut, the acclaimed Bollywood actress, has been making headlines not only for her upcoming film 'Emergency' but also for her vocal opinions on various social and political matters. Amidst her controversial statements, she has clarified the reason behind her Y security, emphasizing that it was not solely due to her celebrity status. Instead, she revealed that the security measures were primarily granted to ensure her safety. This article explores the context and developments surrounding Kangana Ranaut's security, shedding light on her stance and the concerns raised by a prominent political figure.
The SPG knows, and has kept a register of her movements. I wonder why since it is no business of SPG to track Bollywood stars. In her case, on a special dispensation she has a high level of security provided.

The Controversy Surrounding Kangana Ranaut's Y Security:
In the midst of the pandemic, Kangana Ranaut's security became a topic of discussion when the Central Home Ministry granted her Y security status. This decision was linked to a controversy involving Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut in 2020. Following the dispute with Sanjay Raut, Kangana expressed genuine concerns about her life being at risk, which led to her request for heightened protection.

Recently, Subramanian Swamy, a BJP leader and former Rajya Sabha member, expressed concerns about Kangana Ranaut's security on Twitter. He questioned the involvement of the SPG (Special Protection Group) in monitoring the activities of a Bollywood star, highlighting that it was not a usual task for the group.

In response to Subramanian Swamy's tweet, Kangana Ranaut asserted her position. She emphasized that she was not just a Bollywood star but also a responsible and vocal citizen who had faced political animosity in Maharashtra. She revealed that her expenses were once linked to the formation of the state government and that she had taken a stand against the Tukde-Tukde gang and condemned Khalistani groups. Furthermore, Kangana pointed out that she wasn't only an actress but also a producer, writer, and filmmaker. Her upcoming production, 'Emergency,' revolves around the sensitive topic of Operation Bluestar, making her a potential target for security threats. Given the clear risk to her life, she requested high-level security, which she believes is entirely justified.
