While sharing the video, Kangana wrote alongside, "War won't kill us but grasshopper brain cell generation surely will." Kangana's reference to war was about the recent border tensions between India and Pakistan. The video, shared in April by an Instagram page called Gen Z Pulse, begins with an anchor asking a group of girls, "Who is the President of India?" One girl responds, "I forgot his name," while another adds, 'Murunali, I don't know. Murunu or something.' A post shared by The GenZ Pulse (@thegenzpulse) A third participant names the previous President Ram Nath Kovind, while another 'cleverly' says Jawahar Lal Nehru, saying the host never specified if they were to name the current President, adding that Nehru 'was the first President'. Ironically, Nehru was never President. He held the office of the Prime Minister of India from 1947-64. Kangana Ranaut is set to make her Hollywood debut with Blessed Be The Evil, a horror film that will also star Tyler Posey and Scarlet Rose Stallone, daughter of Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone. According to a report in Variety, production for Blessed Be The Evil will begin this summer in New York.
