Kangana Ranaut has shared her thoughts on Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce, using their split as an example to critique Western views on marriage. The Hollywood power couple, who rekindled their romance after 20 years and married in 2022, officially finalized their divorce settlement on January 6, 2025, with a judge approving it on February 21, as per TMZ reports.

Kangana Ranaut on Ben & Jennifer’s Divorce

Taking to her Instagram Story, Kangana shared her ideology on marriage, questioning the Western pursuit of the "perfect partner."

Kangana wrote:

“Whenever they mock Indian marriages, remind them the most intelligent/good-looking actor/filmmaker/writer, so-called the hottest man on earth, Ben Affleck, after many marriages and many children, is still looking for the perfect wife. So is Jennifer Lopez—self-made, the richest, and one of the greatest pop stars ever—still searching for that perfect person.”

She further commented on their repeated attempts at love and the cycle of trials, tests, and disappointments that eventually led to another divorce in their fifties.

“These two are so perfect that no one is good enough for them. After many trials and tests, children and families fed up with everyone’s flaws, they decided to be together many times. But after taking double vows last time, within a few months, they ran in opposite directions to save their lives.”

"Western Culture Promotes Endless Searching": Kangana's Take on Indian Marriages

Kangana also compared Indian and Western marriage cultures, claiming that Westerners are always searching for love but never truly find it.

“I have been in the West for a significant amount of time. In big cities, they are always looking—for that, they have various apps. They are always searching but never find anyone, whereas in India, we marry strangers in arranged marriages and still hold hands at 80.”

She further emphasized the importance of preserving Indian marriage traditions instead of looking to the West for inspiration.

“Our culture has been distorted by many factors. We must get it right and not look at the West for inspiration.”

Did Kangana Take a Dig at ZEE5 Film Mrs?

Before sharing her views on Jennifer and Ben’s divorce, Kangana had already sparked discussion with a series of Instagram Stories that appeared to criticize the recently released ZEE5 film Mrs and its portrayal of marriage.

Her key statements included:
Women in Indian households are "queens" – She dismissed the notion that they should be compared to paid labor.
Criticized Bollywood for distorting marriage values – She warned new-age brides not to seek “too much attention” or risk ending up "alone with their therapist."

Her remarks seemingly challenged the film’s narrative, which focuses on the struggles of Indian women within marriage and joint families.
