Kangana Ranaut on the objectification of women
During an interview with PTI, Kangana responded to the question, saying, "By and large, as per my experience it has always been that when I agree to do a film, there are so many various perspectives... you can bring light to that and say, 'Thoda sa aisa bhi sound kar raha hain yeh'. They may not want to objectify or something but aise toh koi bhi filmein nahi banana chah raha hain ki aao inko objectify kare (An actor can speak up and point out when it is sounding different. No one would want to make films with the intention to objectify them)."
