A viral social media post claiming that actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to appoint her as India’s next Education Minister has been found to be fake. The post surfaced amid political developments surrounding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and quickly gained traction online, leaving many users questioning its authenticity.
Kangana Ranaut to be the next Education Minister?
The viral message falsely quoted Kangana as asking the Prime Minister to hand her the Education Ministry. It further claimed that students who watched her films in theatres would receive extra marks in the NEET examination, a statement that was widely shared across multiple social media platforms. The satirical nature of the post was not immediately apparent to many users, resulting in confusion and misinformation.

However, there is no evidence that Kangana ever made such a request or issued the remarks attributed to her. A review of her verified social media accounts and public statements shows no such post or comment. The viral screenshot circulating online has not originated from any official source linked to the actor-politician.
The misleading claim emerged at a time when Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation dominated headlines following nationwide protests linked to alleged irregularities in the NEET examination. Amid the heightened political atmosphere, several fabricated claims involving public figures also began circulating online, with Kangana becoming one of the latest targets of misinformation.
All about Kangana Ranaut’s political journey
Kangana, who currently serves as the BJP Member of Parliament from Mandi, has not expressed any desire to become the country’s Education Minister. While she has commented on the ongoing political developments and defended the government’s position on cabinet appointments, she has made no statement seeking the ministerial role for herself.
The episode serves as another reminder of how edited screenshots and fabricated social media posts can spread rapidly during politically sensitive situations. Users are advised to verify claims through official accounts and credible news sources before sharing them online. As of now, the viral post claiming Kangana Ranaut sought the Education Minister’s position remains entirely false and has no factual basis.
