'Epstein Files' comes to Bollywood: Kangana Ranaut disturbed as actress says 'Crimes happen everywhere but...'

The Epstein Files is one of the most shocking expose we have seen in recent times. 2026 has begun on a rather controversial and chaotic note. Kartik Aaryan’s clandestine rendezvous, AR Rahman’s communal remark, Arijit Singh’s unexpected retirement, and now these files.

Mira Nair and Anurag Kashyap, two prolific filmmakers, have already been named in these files. Actor Kangana Ranaut has shared her reaction on the same,

Ranaut wrote on Instagram- “So disturbing to see and read about the Epstein Files. Crimes happen everywhere but what they are indulging in seems as if it is some high society fashion/cultural practice, seems more like some evil/satanic monstrous religion.”

The actress added, “All these rockstars, singers, movie stars, politicians, models, movie directors we grew up reading about, how come all of them were ok harming and killing helpless young women and really really tiny kids.”

There were reports that filmmaker Mira Nair’s former husband is related to the offender. But no truth came out of it. Now, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has found himself in trouble.

The filmmaker has been named as the ‘Bollywood Guy’ in the files in exchanges between Jeffrey Epstein and individuals such as Giuseppe Bersani, Gino Yu, and Ornella Corazza. No confirmation about the same has been made yet.

Netizens react

One Reddit user wrote, “Is this Epstein’s files or Chitragupt’s accounting book? Everyone’s in there. Afraid someday my name may show up somehow.” Another commented, “So many wealthy or influential people participated in Epstein’s criminal activities itself – that list is huge, let us go after them. Let us not go for those who were merely invited to these events.”

Also, the names of former United States President Bill Clinton and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are back in the spotlight.

The US Justice Department has freshly released millions of internal documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, shedding light on his connections with powerful figures which also includes the Clintons.

This has resulted in the a Republican-led House investigation to push  the Clintons toward agreeing to testify under oath.
