Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut expressed her support for the Agniveer scheme, recounting her struggle to groom herself while making her way in Bollywood.

“Totally agree, I too come from a small village, lack of confidence and presentation are major challenges for us who come from rural villages/government Hindi medium schools,” she began her post, adding, “Serving in the army even for a short period of time will not only groom you but also give you a personality/character (set of nationalistic and inclusive life values) along with etiquettes and discipline and an opportunity to be a soldier if you want to be one. What else do you need to conquer the world?”

“And you get paid for all this training, imagine!! Wish I had such privileges growing up!! I had to train myself to be a soldier mentally, emotionally, physically. Many classes I took joined gym and used to visit RamaKrishna mission math while struggling to earn my bread and roof every day. Socho #AgniveerScheme,” she concluded.

A social media user questioned Kangana, asking, "And after 4 years, will you just keep our soldiers as guards at your house gate?"

In response, the actor said, "There are reservations for them in government security forces like CRPF, BSF. What's wrong with being a private guard? They earn their living with dignity and honesty. Stop humiliating them just because you think they are unnecessary."

"If today university toppers can sell dosa or biryani on streets and slowly make crores per month by expanding their business on merit, then no job is small. It depends on your caliber. In this populated nation, one has to be ready for competition as well. Yes, being a private guard or starting your own security company is also an option, and it's a great option," she added.
