Kangana Ranaut on parents' reaction to Gangster
In a recent interview with Pen Movies while promoting her upcoming film Bharat Bhagya Vidhata, Kangana shared how her parents were shocked after seeing Gangster. “After watching Gangster, my father gave no response at all. So I asked my mother, ‘Did you not understand anything? How did you find my film?’ She said, ‘No, in our society, you are so young, you are underage, and they made you do such scenes.’ I asked her, ‘Out of the entire film, did you only see those scenes?’ I was seriously heartbroken that this is how they perceived the film. After that, I thought I would never expect any review of my films from my parents because they have never seen films.”
