Kangana Ranaut is famous in the Bollywood industry for her pro-feminism remarks. Although, as of late the actress has had her fair share of fallouts with multiple stars, she still stands by her words and believes in her ideologies.
Recently at a summit, Kangana spoke about her views on feminism. She stated, “I am not a man-hater. In fact, I have more male friends than female ones.” She went on to add, “I am not sure when I became a feminist. The whole perception of inequality and of one being inferior to the other is too bizarre for me to come to terms with. I can’t understand it. Feminism is just indicative that the balance between genders is missing from the system, and it’s a sorry state to be in.”
She further spoke about her journey in the industry, “My journey [in the industry] is magical, but magic has its price. Lineage has been restricted within the males of the industry. There is a deep-rooted patriarchy. Showbiz is a fantasy land. It swings between extraordinary, fantastic and tragic.”
The actress concluded by saying, “Certain things are expected of men, but sneered upon when women do it. Consider their sexual lives for instance. Having sex is fun for a man, but for a woman, it’s almost criminal. Such is the general perception of the glamour world. Men brag about their Casanova sons, but when it comes to their daughters, she can’t be wearing a bikini. [It is okay if] 15 bikini-clad women are hovering around him and his son, but the daughter has to comply with feudal ideas.”
