Though the bitter embroilment between Kangana Ranaut and Hrithik Roshan appears to be far away from the finishing line and people shooting draggers of criticism on one of industry’s fine actors, Ranaut is undeterred by all negativity against her. She finally has spoken about the controversy, moreover in a tenacious way.
While their brawl was grabbing headlines, her former boyfriend Adhyayan Suman’s parents went on record to describe their son’s turbulent relationship with the actress.
But Ranaut has finally spoken about the controversy in a tenacious way.
Her former boyfriend Adhyayan has accused her of practicing black magic and that she has a split personality disorder, while his parents, in a horrifying revelation, said that Kangana used to abuse and beat their son. To this, Kangana gave a strong reply while interacting with NDTV :
“As far as name-calling is concerned, we as women have been defending ourselves for way too long. These are thousand-year-old weapons that are still used against women. When they’re jealous of a woman’s success, the first thing she becomes is a daayan. If she’s crazily successful, she becomes a psychopath. If she’s sexually active, she becomes a whore. All of this is being used, and it’s really outdated. It doesn’t upset me, because I’m an artist and I’ve closely researched people who’ve dealt with mental illnesses, and I don’t find anything upsetting, gross, or degrading about fighting with a mental illness, which a certain portion of the media is trying to suggest – to humiliate a woman, you can use mental illness. It won’t work. I have played a schizophrenic, I’ve played a bipolar patient on screen… and I don’t see anything humiliating when they call me a psychopath, a bitch, or a whore. I’ve also played a whore on screen, and my close interaction with prostitutes has allowed me to be extremely empathetic to them. So it doesn’t work on me. Witches – I love Shakespeare, and like any other artist, I’m also smitten by witches, or faeries, or demons, or Gods, or mysticism, or romanticism. It doesn’t scare me. How would any of us hope to write a Harry Potter or be a Shakespeare if we instill so much fear and xenophobia in our children’s heads? We need to be a bit more open about anybody’s religious practices.”
She clearly labels this controversy as a result of people being unable to digest her glorifying success. Her chart of accomplishments seems incessant, as she recently bagged Best Actress National Award for Tanu Weds Manu Returns, and at the event in New Delhi yesterday, she was seen flying high on ecstasy, celebrating her triumph. No one could look at her and tell that she is someone deeply mired in the controversy.
She was all giving out happy vibes and she reasoned it out as, “There has been no single good news for a while, so this feels really special.” She added, “This is special also because of the fact that I got an honour that went to someone like Mr Amitabh Bachchan this year (in Best Actor-Male category for Piku). I&B Minister Arun Jaitley said it was heartening to see the top honour go to actors from two different generations.”
