'Men can impregnate any woman and run away,' says Kangana Ranaut reacting to the recent debate on live-in relationships after Disha Patani's sister Khushboo criticised Aniruddhacharya Maharaj
Kangana Ranaut who is known for her always calling spade a spade has now shared her insights on live-in relationships amidst the ongoing debate on this concept. It all began as Disha Patani 's sister Khushboo Patani reacted to Aniruddhacharaya Maharaj's viral clip. In this video, he said, "Ladke laate hain 25 saal ki ladkiyon ko, jo 4-5 jagah mooh maar ke aati hain," as he spoke about live-in relationships these days. Khushboo expressed anger towards his choice of words, thus questioning him why his remark targeted only women in live-in relationships and not men who choose the same before getting married. Amidst this ongoing discussion and debate, Kangana Ranaut has opened up on this and revealed why marriages are important. "Court says now that live-in relationships are as good as marriage. Court yehi kehta hai ke agar aap mahila ke saath sambandh rakhte hai toh aapko usko as wife samajhna padega. Yeh saare kanoon woman-friendly hi toh hai." She added, "Aaj kal log live-in relationships ke baare mein baat karte hai. But I feel marriages are very important in our society, and it is the promise that a man makes to stay loyal to his wife. I have been in relationships, and I have seen other people who indulge in such things, but I can assure you that these are not women-friendly things." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo The actress cryptically addressed Khushboo's reaction on Aniruddhacharaya Maharaj and said, "Aap santon ko gaaliyan de rahe hai, it's a cancel culture. But like an elder sister I want to say, that live-in is not a woman friendly concept." She also said, "Who's going to help you get an abortion? If you get pregnant tomorrow during a live-in relationship, who is going to take care of you? Men are hunters who can impregnate any woman and run away. No matter how much we empower ourselves or educate ourselves with books and surveys, scientifically speaking, men can compartmentalise and women can't.' Kangana explained further, "People say men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and we can be modern. But scientifically, there have been surveys. Men were asked about the list of things they would admire about women as a girlfriend and as a wife. They had different lists. But women has the same list for boyfriend and husband."

After Mrunal Thakur, Kareena Kapoor Khan gets trolled on the internet for her comments on other actors in old interviews, netizens call her the 'OG mean girl'
Mrunal Thakur , who was recently seen with Ajay Devgn in 'Son of Sardaar 2', has been in the news after an old video of her resurfaced online. In the clip which was from her television days when she was doing 'Kumkum Bhagya', Mrunal mocked Bipasha Basu for her 'muscles' and said she was 'far better'. After facing backlash from netizens, she apologised. Now, another actress is being criticised online for being very mean to other actors as a Reddit post recalls all the rude comments she's made. A viral Reddit thread has dug up snippets from Kareena's old interviews. A user shared a magazine cover of the actress with some of her quotes about other actresses and in the caption, called her the 'OG mean girl'. After losing 'Devdas' to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan , Kareena had called Sanjay Leela Bhansali a 'confused director' with 'no morals and principles'. She also once claimed that Sridevi 'never had a historical hit'. Talking about 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' (2000), which was meant to be her debut before she walked out, Kareena said Rakesh Roshan focused more on Hrithik Roshan , while Ameesha Patel had 'pimples and under-eye bags' in some scenes. The actress had once called Bipasha Basu 'kaali beeli'. When she was asked about it on 'Aap Ki Adalat', she said, she will call herself 'gori billi'. Kareena didn't stop there. She called Salman Khan a 'bad actor' in one interview and also stated that 'being fat is not sexy'. Netizens are now reacting strongly. One wrote, 'Pooh in real life!' Another commented, 'I always point that out. Her fans pass her mean behaviour as 'Sassy' and call her real life 'Poo' as if it's an achievement 🙄.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night?

Another user said, 'I swear she has forever been mean. I don't know what's iconic about that. Being disrespectful is not cool.' However, over the years, Kareena has stopped commenting these things about other actors. One has seen how now that she chooses to be diplomatic. When the actress was asked about her feud with Ameesha on ' Koffee With Karan ' after the success of 'Gadar 2', Kareena responded that 'there's no history. The only history made is by their film 'Gadar 2' with the box office records, she had said. On work front, Kareena was last seen in 'Singham Again'.
