Kangana Ranaut backs millennials as 'most intelligent generation' in Gen Z debate

Kangana Ranaut shared a video endorsing social psychologist Jonathan Haidt's claim that millennials are the "most intelligent generation ever," adding a playful remark comparing them to Gen Z. The actress also reiterated that her earlier "Generation Gutter" comment about Gen Z protesters was misconstrued. In the video from 'The Exchange,' Haidt said millennials were the last cohort to come of age before the internet reshaped youth experiences, noting intelligence levels rose steadily until that generation. Ranaut's Instagram story included a cheeky caption suggesting she agreed with the assessment while poking fun at the generational comparison. Ranaut previously clarified her controversial remark about protesters at Jantar Mantar, insisting it referred only to the roughly 2,000 Gen Z attendees, not all youth. She challenged critics to find a quote where she included the entire generation, calling the backlash a "useless agenda."
