I don't wish to offer myself on a platter: Did Kangana take a dig at Deepika and Priyanka for their Hollywood ventures?

Kangana Ranaut in an interview with a tabloid said she has no aspirations of going international. “It would be stupid for anyone to make the move to the West now.Their theatre business is crashing because of the influx of digital media. Asia, on the other hand, is where Hollywood was 15 years ago. It is a lucrative time for entertainment here. These are baits that I won’t fall prey to.”

She may be taking a potshot at Deepika Padukone, who got a big desi welcome for her first Hollywood co-star, Vin Diesel. She added, “If an American film (The Jungle Book, 2016) is doing Rs 100 crore business, and not all our films are able to, we may not find adequate screens for home-bred films 10 years down the line. I’m all for world cinema, but it needs to be a film that brings employment and money into our country. I don’t wish to offer myself on a platter to another industry.”

She also talked about seeing more women oriented films. “Women are raised to believe they are healers and people appreciate the goody two-shoes. Even the most successful women want to be liked by others. There is the alluring promise of heaven for those who can love selflessly. It’s fine if they can’t look themselves in the eye, but the world should see them as the epitome of holiness. They (her colleagues) don’t stand up for themselves, forget doing it for others.”
