Not just Bollywood, Kangana Ranaut has been ruling even the entertainment news space since weeks at stretch now. The Bollywood actress picked up the prestigious National Award, a third for Kangana. Speaking to the media after landing on Mumbai airport from Delhi, an elated Kangana said, “I am very happy right now. The character in ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ is very special to me and I am thrilled with the National Award,” before slipping away to cherish her coveted win. While this celeb of the cinema world has been accused of witchcraft and abusive behaviour, read on to know why everyone is talking about Kangana Ranaut.
In different interviews to India Today and NDTV groups, Kangana Ranaut made some sporadic statements while she was visiting Delhi to receive her National Award from the President of India.
Excerpts from Kangana Ranaut’s two quick interviews:
- What about my menstrual blood? People in the country are discussing my periods. It’s not an appetiser or cocktail. Even to suggest that it is used for making food is not acceptable. What’s so gross about our period blood? Why do we need to tell our women that period blood is gross? If a man’s body fluid doesn’t cast a spell when it is consumed in any way, why should a woman’s body fluid do?

- There are two types of people: A. People pleaser and B. self-pleaser. I’m definitely of self-pleaser types. I care about my own priorities and own life more than what others’ expectations are.
- We as women have been defending ourselves for way too long. These are thousand years old weapons that are being used against us. When they are jealous of a woman’s success, the first thing she becomes is a ‘daayan’ (witch), then she goes on to become a whore, then she becomes a slut and if she’s crazily successful then she becomes a psychopath. If she’s sexually active, she becomes a whore.
- To humiliate a woman, you can use mental illness, it won’t work. Because 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 or a bitch or a whore.
- In the beginning, I wanted to have a conventional, very easy route where I can work with big heroes and be a big heroine. Now I get a lot of offers to work with the Khans. When I wanted work, nobody was ready to work with me. Now that I’m my own hero on the sets, why should I work with other heroes?
