Actor and politician Kangana Ranaut has taken another apparent swipe at Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke, this time focusing on his English-speaking skills. She shared a reel on social media that compared the way she and Dipke speak English in public.
The video begins with a clip of Dipke delivering a statement in English before switching to a clip of Kangana speaking in English about her experiences as a woman in the film industry. The reel used a mocking caption that contrasted the two speakers and suggested that while one performed strongly, the other needed improvement.

The post quickly drew attention because it comes amid Kangana’s ongoing public exchanges with members of the CJP. Her latest post adds a new dimension to the continuing political and social-media sparring between the actor-politician and her critics.
Kangana’s own history with the English language also makes the post notable. She has previously spoken publicly about struggling with English during the early stages of her career. The actor has recalled facing criticism and mockery over her language skills when she entered the Hindi film industry.
In earlier discussions about her career, Kangana has spoken about the challenges she faced as an outsider in Bollywood. She has also recalled an episode on Koffee With Karan in which her English was mocked by fellow actor Sonam Kapoor.
Over the years, however, Kangana has become a prominent English-language speaker at public events, interviews and political platforms. Her latest social-media post appears to draw on that personal transformation while taking aim at Dipke.
The reference to Kangana as “12th pass” in the viral reel also appears designed to highlight the contrast between educational qualifications and practical communication skills. The post compares her public-speaking ability with Dipke’s, despite their different backgrounds.
Dipke, meanwhile, has been active in public and political discourse through the CJP. His appearances and statements have increasingly attracted attention on social media, particularly amid the party’s ongoing political activities.
Kangana’s latest post has once again shifted the focus from political disagreements to personal exchanges over communication and public image. The episode also demonstrates how political disputes increasingly spill over into social media, where short videos and memes can quickly amplify individual remarks.
For Kangana, the controversy is another chapter in her long-running relationship with public criticism. Her journey from being criticised for her English to confidently using the language in public has become part of the larger narrative surrounding her career.
The latest reel therefore carries two layers: a direct jab at Dipke and a reminder of Kangana’s own transformation as a public speaker. Whether the exchange develops into another political confrontation remains to be seen, but the post has already added fuel to the ongoing social-media debate surrounding the two figures.
