Kangana Ranaut, who is currently awaiting the release of her forthcoming film 'Tejas,' expressed criticism towards Bollywood celebrities and cricketers for 'maintaining friendships' with artists from China and Pakistan. Without naming anyone, Kangana stressed how it can affect the morale of Indian soldiers when Indian celebrities extend support to artists from stated neighbouring countries. Not only this, but she also proposed that military training should be mandatory for everyone in India after graduation.
According to News18, Kangana said, "Our soldiers ask when Bollywood is showcasing its love for the artists of China and Pakistan, cricketers are hugging them, then am I the only one who thinks of them as enemies? Is the animosity between the two countries only for me? This is why we have made Tejas. It showcases how a soldier feels when people of the country talk behind his back while he is fighting at the border."
Further, proposing that mandatory military service should be introduced in India, Kangana argued this would instill discipline and get rid of lazy people. "We will get rid of these lazy and irresponsible people if military training is made compulsory in the country for every child after graduation. It will inculcate discipline in them," the Manikarnika actress added.
