Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, known for her fearless and outspoken nature, has once again taken a stand against the Hindi film industry. As she prepares for the release of her highly anticipated political period drama Emergency, Kangana has revealed why she finds it difficult to befriend people from Bollywood.

Kangana's Strong Opinions on Bollywood's Lack of Awareness

In a recent appearance on Raj Shamani's podcast, Kangana did not hold back as she discussed her views on the Bollywood fraternity. She candidly expressed that she cannot be friends with Bollywood celebrities because, in her opinion, they are largely unaware of the world beyond their immediate surroundings. `I am not a Bollywood kind of person, okay. I can't be friends with Bollywood people for sure,` she stated bluntly.

A Harsh Critique of Bollywood's Lifestyle

Kangana went on to describe what she perceives as the superficiality and self-centeredness of many in the industry. She commented, `Bollywood people are just so full of themselves. They are stupid, they are dumb, they are (all about) protein shake and that kind of a (life).` The actress also criticized the mundane and repetitive routines that she believes many actors follow, highlighting how disconnected they seem from the realities of the world.

`If they (actors) are not shooting, their routine is they wake up in the morning, do some physical training, sleep in the afternoon, again wake up, go to the gym, again sleep in the night or watch TV. They are like grasshoppers, totally blank,` she observed. Kangana further emphasized her inability to relate to such individuals, saying, `How can you be friends with such people? They have no idea what is going on where, they have no conversations, they meet, they drink (and discuss their clothes, and accessories). I will be very shocked to find a decent person in Bollywood who can talk beyond impacts or cars.`

Kangana Addresses Her Reputation for Confrontations in Bollywood

Known for her fiery exchanges with various Bollywood personalities, Kangana also addressed her reputation for being involved in controversies. She clarified that she has never initiated conflicts but has only responded to provocations. `If my statements are so absurd, can you come up with even one where... no, never, I have never said anything which is not true, never... I've never ever picked up a fight with anybody, but I've been messed with, I'm the one to put an end to a fight, that I make sure. But I've never started a fight,` she asserted.

Kangana's Upcoming Film Emergency: A Glimpse into Indian Politics

As she continues to be a polarizing figure in the industry, Kangana is channeling her energy into her latest project, Emergency. The film, which she both directs and stars in, is set against the backdrop of the Indian Emergency in 1975 and explores the political turmoil of that period. Given her outspoken nature and strong views on politics and society, Emergency is expected to be a powerful and thought-provoking film.

Conclusion

Kangana Ranaut's recent comments reflect her ongoing discontent with the Bollywood industry and her commitment to staying true to her own values. As she prepares for the release of Emergency, her words continue to resonate with those who appreciate her candor and willingness to speak out, regardless of the consequences. Whether admired or criticized, Kangana remains one of Bollywood's most compelling and controversial figures.
