Rangoli Chandel slam haters for saying Kangana Ranaut speaks about issues for publicity
In the wake of India’s, Me Too movement, Kangana Ranaut, who has been quite vocal about issues spanning film industry and beyond in the past, hasn't minced a word this time too. She has backed the sexual harassment allegations against Vikas Bahl, the director of her film, Queen, and has personally shared her account. Furthermore, the Queen actress also questioned as to why personalities like Karan Johar, Shabana Azmi haven’t spoken about the Me Too movement yet.
Not liking her statement, several users took to Twitter lashing out against her by saying that she's using the #MeToo movement for publicity and personal grudges and even actress Gauahar Khan called her out by saying that Kangana is a "Feminist of convenience."
Now, coming to Kangana Ranaut’s defense sister Rangoli Chandel took to Twitter and wrote, “People who say Kangana wants to promote her films by talking about issues should know she would have never left Khan and YRF films, fairness ads, if films were more imp to her now pls go and find some other excuse ...it’s too ghisa pitaa.”
Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut, who will be seen next in Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, spoke about industry's most talked-about filmmaker, Karan Johar. Kangana questioned the lack of any attention to the most relevant topic affecting Indian film industry today, #Metoo and expressed her disappointment at the perception of actresses as mere dating objects without any in-depth conversations being meted out through the promos.
"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. It's important for people like... 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? It's important that other people also now join this movement”, Kangana Ranaut was quoted as saying in a media interaction.
