Kangana Ranaut: An actor's pay must be determined by the amount of work she does

Kangana Ranaut never minces words and has always been the bold actress in Bollywood. Kangana Ranaut spoke to a leading Indian daily about the need for women to stand united, “When I was fighting for equal pay, many women from my industry started fake articles that they are getting this, that. They started hiking their salaries through their PRs. They do not understand how they are harming themselves. What (change) can happen like this- by running someone down and overriding their cause with your own personal agendas? We have got to collectively fight for it. Women have such an inferior complex that they genuinely believe ki itna mil raha hai bahot hai, aur kya chahiye tumko (You are already getting so much. Why do you want more?)”

Earlier, Kangana had spoken on the same subject by stating, “here are women in the industry who say that if actresses are unable to bring in crowds [in a theatre] that a male star can, how can they demand equal pay. If we, as actresses, keep instilling this inferiority complex in girls, there is no hope for better times."


"Personally, my logic for remuneration has always been that I have 365 days to work, as much as any male star. An actor's pay must be determined by the amount of work s/he does. Your gender is no yardstick for it,” Kangana added.

On the work front, Kangana will be seen in Manikarnika-The Queen Of Jhansi as a warrior princess. She will also be seen opposite Rajkummar Rao in Mental Hai Kya?

Ramayana costume controversy explained as designers defend Sita and Kaikeyi looks

Highlights

  • Rimple and Harpreet Narula have responded to criticism over Sai Pallavi's Sita and Lara Dutta's Kaikeyi in Ramayana
  • The designers say the costumes are artistic interpretations rather than attempts at historical reconstruction
  • They have urged audiences to judge the costumes after watching the completed film

The costume debate surrounding Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana has continued after the film's first trailer, with designers Rimple and Harpreet Narula responding to criticism over the looks of Sai Pallavi's Sita and Lara Dutta's Kaikeyi.

The duo said their work was never intended to be a historically exact recreation of the Treta Yuga, arguing that no surviving garments exist from the period. Instead, they based the costumes on artistic and cultural references that have shaped popular depictions of the epic over generations.
