Kangana Ranaut
called Vikas Bahl out for his indecent behaviour during the making of Queen.
After opening up about Bahl’s behaviour on the set, the actress has also lashed
out at her ex-flame Hrithik Roshan. While blasting him, she had told Zee News,
“People who keep their wives as trophies and keep young girls as their
mistresses should also be punished. I am referring to Hrithik Roshan, people
should not work with him as well.”
Soon after the
Kangana spoke up about her #MeToo story and bashed Hrithik Roshan, she received
backlash and was accused of doing this for promoting her upcoming film,
Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi. Now, her sister has taken to social media and
has blasted those who think that she is doing this for publicity. She tweeted,
“people who say Kangana wants to promote her films by talking about issues

were more imp to her now pls go and find some other excuse ...it’s too ghisa
pitaa....”

Meanwhile, the
Queen actress demanded that Karan Johar and Shabana Azmi speak up about the on
the going #MeToo movement. While interacting with media, Kangana said,
"I have been speaking about it every day. But, now, more significantly,
more people need to come out and talk about it. It's just not one person to talk
about it. Where are people like Karan Johar, Shabana Azmi, they should also
come out and talk. Karan Johar always has views about gym looks, airport
looks, he tweets ten times about it, what about this? This is their identity,
this is their bread and butter, Film Industry when it's going through such an
important shift, where are they?”
She further
added, “It's important that other people also now join this movement.” Pointing
out at the Koffee with Karan’s Promo about its upcoming season Kangana Mentioned,
“I was seeing the promo that they have launched of his talk show, wherein again
those frivolous talks have been going on. This one is sleeping with this one,
that one is sleeping with. You know making girls look like Barbie dolls. This
is not done and why men who change women like clothes are glorified. Has there
been a woman who has been glorified like that? Honestly, it's funny, since I
have started, I was seventeen, it's just been about gossiping about some select
people sleeping with each other. It can't be just that, we need to grow up and
it's high time that we do." Taking about the silence of her peers Kangana
remarked, “When the Industry is going through such a shift why are these A-list
actresses not sharing their stories? I am the only one, you guys come every
day. I don't know who calls you but honestly, I have spoken a lot, it's not for
one person to talk.”
She added, “ This
has to be made clear, we need to promote men who are, I don't know what they do
in their real lives, we are not here to judge them but at least who project to
be one woman man, like somebody who pretends to be a Casanova, we don't have to
glorify that, we don't have to glorify a culture where you date a woman for ten
years and then just abandon her and change women like clothes, we don't have to
glorify that. I am not judging them, they are all my friends, they are lovely.
But, this is the time when it can't be just like... c'mon Karan Johar.”
When she was
further asked if she will ever work with the people who have been proven
accused, to this, she said, "I have taken a strong stand. When I was
seventeen I had lodged an FIR. Some people need to be supported by the society
but I don't want to discourage the lone fighters like me. There are some who
will slap the offender right then and there and kick their ass, so there are
women like that also who might not have to wait for years and years. There are
women who need to be empowered and there are women who are very strong.”
