Kangana Ranaut who is currently on a promotion spree for her upcoming magnum opus Manikarnika. While the movie is all about women empowerment, the actress is speaking about the same in her interviews. The actress spoke about the revolutionary #MeToo movement. Kangana also spoke about it when her Queen director Vikas Bahl was accused of the same. In an interview, "People will think twice now because of certain things that were reported. Earlier, everyone knew about some five-six names, but no one was doing anything about it. Today, they are out there exposed. Though that may not seem enough, it has some significance.”
Kangana also defended Rani Mukerji’s stance on the #MeToo movement. Mukerji was trolled by many since she believed that women should be taught martial arts to keep themselves away from predators. In fact, she went to say that she felt sad when Mukherjee was trolled for her comments.
"Maybe Rani was not able to articulate herself, but if you see the way she leads her life, she is the epitome of women’s empowerment. Anyone who knows her wouldn’t find her weak or timid. There are people who talk a lot, but they don’t necessarily live up to it," Kangana said while defending the actress.
Kangana also spoke about her past experience of being harassed in public. "I was pinched on my butt in the middle of a group and that person was right there, looking at me. It was not even sexual, it was like ‘I did exactly what I was not supposed to do’. And looking me in the eye like ‘what are you going to do now?’ So, what do you expect? I think somewhere we should tell the girls that there are a few rules. Don’t say ‘maybe,’ when you want to say ‘no’, it’s important. Your safety doesn’t mean you can do taekwondo and karate. It also means you go to someone who can save you; it may be a teacher, an uncle you trust, a friend, or the Mumbai Police, or go to the media, find a journalist and expose them,” she said.
