Kangana on allegations of going after married men with kids

Kangana Ranaut reacts to allegations of going after married men with kids, calls film industry ‘dirty, filthy and unkind to outsiders’: 'I got called for a casting couch'

Kangana Ranaut recently addressed allegations of ‘going after married men with kids,’ reflecting on the larger societal tendency to hold women responsible in such situations. In an interview with Hauterrfly, she said, “When you are young and ambitious, and a married man with kids hits on you, it’s you who are falling for someone in a relationship. It’s not the man’s fault. People always find a way to blame the women in the situation. Look at the rape victims who get blamed for wearing certain types of clothes or being out late at night. All these are markers of the wrong mentality.”Calls film industry ‘dirty and unkind to outsiders’Weighing in on the darker side of showbiz, Kangana revealed she has faced casting couch propositions. “Of course I got called for a casting couch. The industry is a dirty and filthy place, and it’s very unkind to outsiders. I talked about this very openly and extensively during the ‘me too’ campaign,” she said. The Emergency star added that exploitation is not limited to mainstream cinema. “Outsiders deal with a lot of exploitation in this place, and that also happens in the parallel industries, like in Lokhandwala. I have gone to these places, I have worked there, and I am lucky that I got a break early in my life. There are so many people who still wander those streets and have lost themselves and their identity,” she noted.

On working with male co-starsIn the same interview, Kangana also commented on the conduct of male actors in the industry. “Maine zyada heroes ke saath kaam hi nahi kiya hain! Mera main concern yahi tha ki badtameez bahut hain heroes (I haven’t worked with so many heroes. My concern was that these heroes were extremely impolite),” she said.On the work frontKangana was last seen in her directorial Emergency (2025), portraying India’s former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the political biopic based on The Emergency: A Personal History by Coomi Kapoor and Priyadarshini: The Daughter of India by Jaiyanth Vasanth Sinha.
