Love me or hate me

Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has opened up about the backlash she often faces, saying she finds it "unsettling" when people reduce her to extremes. "It's unsettling when people say ‘love or hate her, you can't ignore her'. I don't know what I've done to deserve the hate," she said in an interaction with Bhardwaj Rangan. Kangana added that while she has been vocal about national issues, criticism often comes without reason. "Some people have a problem just because you breathe. But I don't hate anyone," she asserted, underlining that she continues to stand by her views despite polarising reactions.
