'My enemies work hard on exposing themselves so badly': Kangana Ranaut at 'Judgementall Hai Kya' trailer launch
At the trailer launch of 'Judgementall Hai Kya', leading actor Kangana Ranaut was at her candid best. She spoke about being called 'mentally unstable' and 'exposing' her enemies.
At the recently concluded trailer launch of Judgementall Hai Kya, Kangana Ranaut was at her candid best. She rocked a sexy look wearing a Marina Hoermanseder ensemble. The talented actor wore a black and brown leather-strapped bustier with a golden metallic skirt. She tied her hair in a high ponytail and rounded her look by pairing it up with black booties. Kangana launched the trailer in Mumbai while Rajkummar Rao unveiled it an event held in Delhi.
At the event Kangana, while talking to the media, said that rather than her working to expose people, it is her enemies who keep doing the job for the actor. Over the years, the actor has publicly called out prominent people from Bollywood, including Karan Johar, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt among others, over issues ranging from nepotism to lack of political temperament. Kangana has also been in a widely reported public spat with actor Hrithik Roshan.
Read on below the interesting statements given by Kangana at the event.
When asked if she would be exposing more people, Kangana Ranaut said she has a different take on it. She stated, "It isn't that I expose anyone, sometimes people expose themselves casually. I keep it very light, I talk about common sense. As I say about my enemies, what do they need me for, they work hard on exposing themselves so badly."
Kangana said the phase between 2016-2017 was when she was shamed and called mentally unstable. "There was a phase in my life where people tried to openly shame me by saying I have a mental illness, I'm on medication. Hence I am claiming things. I had answered that as well with a 'so what?' Even though I am not on any medication, I wouldn't have been embarrassed if I was," shared the actor.
She added, "When Kanika Dhillon (writer) narrated this role to me, I thought it was my story. If that phase hadn't come and I had heard the story then, maybe I wouldn't have considered it an issue - a girl being called mentally unstable."
Kangana stated that she doesn't take being called unstable as a compliment or humiliation. She said, "I neither take it as a compliment or humiliation if people think of me as Jhansi ki Rani or Mental or Tanu or Datto."
Kangana revealed that when she left her house to make a mark in Bollywood, the only thing she had was faith. She added, "To keep the ability to continue to trust people is very healthy. You'll be finished without that ability if you don't trust people or don't have faith in life. If you live in constant insecurity of being betrayed, cheated, you're already finished. I work a lot to keep the ability on a high scale."
The actor said that the CBFC was extremely cooperative with the Judgementall Hai Kya's team. She stated, "The Psychiatric Association asked us to battle it out in court to show that the word has indeed been banned just weeks ago. Obviously, you don't have that much choice. But we truly believe that our product is sincere and we have been given a U/A certificate."
Kangana concluded by saying, "Their (Psychiatric Association's) panel was present there and with a heavy heart they said 'you've made a good film but we couldn't find anything offensive in it.' We have faith in our intentions. I don't think it's going to make a difference with a small title (change)."
