We should attack patriarchy, chauvinism: Kangana Ranaut
Actress Kangana Ranaut, who never minces words, has opposed the threats issued to ‘Padmavati’ actress Deepika Padukone, and said patriarchy in the society needs to be attacked.
Actress Kangana Ranaut, who never minces words, has opposed the threats issued to ‘Padmavati’ actress Deepika Padukone, and said patriarchy in the society needs to be attacked.
Kangana was at Reebok's Fit To Fight Awards here on Thursday night when she was asked about her thoughts on the threats issued to Deepika over the controversial film ‘Padmavati’.
She said: "It is absolutely wrong, but I feel it is not something which is very surprising. When my sister was in school, she faced an acid attack from a student and now when I am in a professional environment, a superstar is trying to put me behind bars. So, this is very common that happens in our society.”
"I feel we should not attack individuals; we should attack patriarchy and chauvinism. For individuals, we can call them out and say whatever you are doing is not right.” Kangana is next working on ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’.
Reacting to comparisons between her look for the movie and Deepika's look in ‘Padmavati’, Kangana said: "Our film is a different film. It's a film about a warrior queen who fought against the British Empire.
I feel we should feel ashamed that we didn't make any film earlier based on her life. Kangana's ‘Manikarnika - The Queen of Jhansi’, directed by Krish, is scheduled to release in April 2018.
