When Kangana Ranaut talked about the stereotype of Indian actress – ‘She is dumb, giggles on stupid jokes’

Kangana Ranaut has made headlines for her unabashed statements multiple times in the past, and still continues to. The actress has never shied away from voicing her opinions on the film industry and relevant topics. In 2017 during an interview with Rediff, Kangana touched upon the subject of stereotypes of an Indian actress. She had said, ’ The stereotype of an actress is that she is dumb, somebody who will sit on your lap, giggle on stupid jokes, come to the van when she is being called, receive a call at 3am and come over to your house. So when a girl comes along and challenges this, people get uncomfortable. They feel something is wrong with her because she doesn't entertain any kind of stupidity. Yes, you make mistakes when you are young, fall for married men. But you don't do that anymore; you take a strong stand. You become someone with a mind of your own and that starts khatkoing (bothering) in people's minds.’ Further, Kangana also slammed the portrayal of women in films and said ‘They were arm candy, to show the romantic side of the hero for two minutes. Then, she would come back for a song, and in the climax, she would be back for the varmala. That was the role of the Indian heroine. But it is not that she, like the hero, did not have her own conflicts.’ For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
