Kangana Ranaut has once again found herself at the center of internet humor after accidentally referring to former President Ram Nath Kovind as 'Ram Covid' during an interview, igniting a flood of memes and jokes across social media.
Kangana Ranaut is once again making headlines ever since she is promoting her forthcoming film Emergency. The actress-turned-politician who is known for not mincing words often unknowingly gives rise to controversies for her honest, unabashed and unfiltered opinions. In a recent interview, she called former President of India Ram Nath Kovind as Ram Covid, and this has kickstarted a meme fest online. Not just that, Ranaut also said that he was the first Dalit President of India. When the host corrected her that the first Dalit President was KR Narayanan, she promptly admitted, "Sorry for my misinformation."

In the same interview with The Lallantop, Kangana Ranaut was also asked about her opinion on caste census. She said, "My position is the same as Yogi Adityanath's. Saath rahenge nek rahenge, batenge katenge". She added, "There should be no caste census. We don¡¯t even know the caste of actors. Nobody knows anything. The people around me don¡¯t care about caste. Why determine it now? We didn¡¯t do it before, so why do it now?"
She added that women in the country are backward and violence against them is rising. She feels they should be uplifted. "There are only three castes, poor, farmers and women. There should be no fourth caste," she added.
