Kangana Ranaut: I have been fighting against many prejudices

Kangan Ranaut, who is gearing up the release of her upcoming film, 'Rangoon' recently opened up about her journey in Bollywood and how dealing with controversies surrounding her personal life has made her a strong person.

Talking to India Today, the actress opened up about being betrayed by someone close to you, and how she dealt it. Kangana said, “When you deal with malice and betrayal from someone who you have been extremely close to, of course, it does affect you. There is a character assassination – that too publicly – by that individual in whom you put all your faith and love. It has been very hard to deal with."

The actress also added that while things were difficult, she is a fighter by nature and refused to give up. She further added, “But the fighter instinct in me dominates every other instinct. I did not think twice. I see so many women committing suicide and falling into depression and my only point is why do they fail to attack? I’m not saying strip others off their dignity too. But you have got to say no to the healer archetype. I am extremely bold. I sent a notice back. I did not take it lying down.”

Talking about the trying times, Kangana revealed that her mother was worried for her and asked her to not do these things. "My own family, my mother was like don’t do all these things and say, ‘bade log hain tumhe marwa daalenge’ she would cry all the time," revealed Kangana.

Before signing off, the actress added, "I was not fighting any individual battle but fighting against many prejudices. I took it all in my stride. So I am a whore, I’m sexually attractive, have psychological problems, capable of falling in love with men passionately. So what is my future? What should be done with me? They have nothing to say. They can’t kill the fierceness.”
