Kangana Ranaut Talks About Not Being On Social Media, Star Worship And Says She’s Earned Her Place In The Industry

I don’t remember the last time that I woke up in the morning and did not see Kangana Ranaut trending on social media. And this by the way, even after the media swore to cut her off of all media coverage, threatening to boycott her, she continued her streak of interviews and press junkets. She’s undeniably a queen and while you can shake her crown, you certainly can’t put her down. What started with controversies, turned into not-subtle digs at celebrities, and briefly even had us mistaking her for having a breakdown, has ultimately led the Manikarnika actress to turn into an indisputable warrior queen (pun intended) of the industry. With an armour and everything. It’s like they say, you can love her or hate her, but you certainly can’t ignore her.

Kangana Ranaut, has once again surfaced up on our feed with some pretty interesting and as predicted – controversial answers to the long drawn questions that everyone had for her. In a recent interview with Kangana, the actress was asked all about her recent ‘controversies’ and how despite her not being on social media, she is currently trending all across it. To that, the actress replied, “Well, I do so much more” with a laugh and we were assured that there was no keeping this woman down.

When she was asked about her take on the recent feud she had with a journalist that sparked an alleged ban of media on her, she said, “Everybody is telling me, ‘Oh, you blasted a journalist?’ But for me he is not a journalist, he is a bhatka hua navyuvak (lost youth). What he has been writing about me shows he is just a professional troll. Constitution allows a journalist to critique but not troll and degrade somebody. It is something which is (of) national (interest) and concerns all of us.”

Talking more about if she ever gets worried about losing her fans over the on-going and never ending controversies she said, “I don’t think we are in an age of fans. We are not. We need to wake up. Today, these critics don’t make such a valid observation of a film, or some of these so-called journalists don’t have valid questions to ask. In fact, these young children on social media can give you a run for your money in minutes. They make these small videos and the way they edit, put music, sometimes they make their own films, it can put even a film school graduate to shame. They have such crazy minds. They are not fans. They agree with you or they don’t agree with you. The force on internet is so strong so you cannot be somebody who is just wanting to be worshiped for being a celebrity. You need to earn the respect that you want from them. If I am celebrated by them, tomorrow they will also turn around and say, ‘Why do we give her so much attention? Why like fools are we dancing around her? Then we need to answer them. What is it that we have done in our capacity? Whether it is the roles that I choose, or whether my actions, that I either propagate or condemn everything, should reflect and I should be worthy of my position. Tomorrow, when they ask me some political question, the youth should look forward to my answer. I can’t randomly say, ‘Oh I don’t know anything about it’.”

She further emphasised on how even actors need to be more conscious and aware of the audience they cater to. She said, “Those days are gone that everything will be filtered to people, and you will be projected and worshipped like god. So many of them abuse actors on twitter. The star system has died. They are not going to see films only because you are a star, they go for content. That is happening with social media also. You deliver what you can.”

And delivering she is- back to back hits and daily social media trending goals with whatever she has to say. And while we may not resonate with all that she believes, we certainly can’t hold ourselves back from listening to what she has to say. Once again, Kangana proves that there is no keeping her in a box. Not even with a media ban.
