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.
