Kangana Ranaut responds to the molestation claims against Vikas Bahl

Kangana Ranaut gave one of the biggest hits of her career, 'Queen' with director Vikas Bahl. In fact, Kangana won her first National Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Rani in the film. Kangana, who is known to be unabashedly honest at a recent event was asked to comment regarding the sexual harassment complaint filed against the director.

While the actress maintained that this particular event was not a good platform to talk about the issue, however, considering the severity of situation, the actress put forth her opinion. The actress said, "We are here to talk about a brand, but what you mentioned is a serious issue. I can only say that it is very courageous of a woman to come out and speak about sexual harassment. It’s not regarding this particular event, because I am not the party involved, but generally speaking, women who face this should be encouraged to talk about it by their families and their colleagues without feeling ashamed about it."

Kangana, who was recently involved in a very public spat with Hrithik Roshan said that women should be encouraged to come forth and speak about these issues. “More women should come out and talk about whatever they feel because that’s how there will be awareness about these issues and of course, there will always be another side of the story as well and then there will be the authorities, who can decide what is the right thing to do. But people should speak up about whatever they feel, whether they are right or wrong, they must speak up and discuss,” Kangana asserted.

When asked about her upcoming projects, 'Simran' and 'Manikarna', the 'Tanu weds manu' actress said, "In Simran, I have worked as an actor and as a collaborator. I have worked on the script too. As for Manikarnika, I have not collaborated because I did not see any scope. Krish and the team have worked on the script."
