I didn’t Work With Salman, Ranbir, Akshay And More For A Reason Shares Kangana Ranaut

In the ever-evolving landscape of the Indian film industry, actress Kangana Ranaut has once again taken the spotlight, this time with a series of thought-provoking posts on her social media. Known for her unfiltered opinions and fearless stance, Ranaut has turned her attention to the portrayal of women on-screen, expressing concerns about the current state of the industry.

Taking to her social media platform, Kangana voiced her discontent over the prevalent trend of reducing women to mere decorative elements on the screen. She passionately lamented the violent and disgraceful stripping of women's dignity and clothes in recent films, she wrote, “The latest trend of films where women are reduced to mere flower on the wall, violently and disgracefully stripped of their dignity and clothes is beyond appalling. Reminds me of the time when I entered films, vulgar item numbers, quick in and out sleazy and dumb roles against older men were prevalent.”

“Many years later fighting for pay parity, trying to encourage female lead films like Gangster, Woh Lamhe, Fashion, Queen, Tanu Weds Manu, Manikarnika, Thalaivii, Tejas I ruffled many feathers along the way.”

“Went against big production houses like YRF and Dharma. Said no to big heroes like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor. Not because I had anything personal against them, all for the cause of woman empowerment and today looking at the condition of women in films my heart sinks… is film industry only to blame for this? Audiences have no participation in this steep regression of women in films?” added Kangana.

On the work front, Kangana is busy with Emergency, biographical historical drama film directed and produced by Kangana Ranaut, from a screenplay by Ritesh Shah and story by Ranaut. Based on the Indian Emergency, it stars Ranaut as former Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi. The film also features Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhry and Milind Soman in pivotal roles.
