KANGANA RANAUT:
WE LIVE IN A SICK SOCIETY, FEMINISM IS ITS MEDICINE
Kangana Ranaut is fighting her way through all the phases in her life. She now wants to change the woman’s narrative in our movies. She says, “We have always had female characters where they cry for the men who left them. The roles have always revolved around the male narrative, but this time Hansal Mehta has treated a woman like a human being in Simran.
“She has her dreams, and is being celebrated with all her flaws.”
Kangana: No more an outsider, I am the leading face of Bollywood
Kangana Ranaut might have started the nepotism debate when she called Karan Johar the flagbearer of nepotism. She has also opened up about her struggle as an outsider. But today, the story is different. Kangana feels grounded as an integral part of the industry.
She said, “I am the leading face of Bollywood. I have done some very significant work, and I have received three national awards. My films have done well. Some of the films have broken box-office records. So, how can I be an outsider? I am an integral part of the industry. Let’s see what happens in the future.
Kangana: We live in a sick society, and feminism is its medicine
Kangana Ranaut has been appreciated and at times criticised for using her ‘woman-card’. But the actor has her definition of feminism on point, and in practice. She said, “My idea of feminism is that it is equality, right? Feminism is not a concept. Feminism is compensation. It is a subject of discussion these days because eventually, we have to emphasise that men and women are the same, that only blood flows through our veins like anybody else’s, and there has to be equal pay for equal work. So, feminism is compensation for a lack in the society. We live in a sick society, and feminism is its medicine.”
