Kangana Ranaut slams live-in relationships, calls dating app users ‘neech' and apps ‘gutter of society'
In today's digital era, where people have more followers and friends on social media than in real life, technology-driven relationships and dating apps have become a common way to interact and find partners. However, recently, actor and politician Kangana Ranaut shared her opinion on online dating and strongly criticised it. According to Kangana, dating apps are of declining value in modern society. Recently, in an interview, she spoke about her views on marriage, live-in relationships, and the modern culture of online dating, which has created a buzz online.
Kangana, who was last seen playing the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film Emergency, said that men and women have different ways to process emotions. She believes that men can compartmentalise their emotions, but women cannot, despite the education and empowerment.
Speaking of marriage, Kangana shared that she believes that marriage is an important institution to represent loyalty and responsibility. However, she had strong opposition. Kangana Ranaut on dating app culture:
Speaking of dating apps, she labelled it as 'gutter.' she further states that for her, a dating app is in a derogatory category, and she cannot even imagine being with someone who uses a dating app. She also emphasises that dating apps promote validation-seeking and a lack of confidence. She said, 'You won't find people like me on dating apps. You'll only find losers there, the people who haven't achieved anything in their lives,' she said. 'If you haven't been able to meet anyone in the office or through your parents and relatives, and you've ended up on a dating app, imagine what sort of character you are.'
Expanding her criticism, she described dating culture as crude and problematic. 'Everybody has a need, be it financial, physical, or anything else… Every woman and man has needs, but how do we address them? That is the question. Do we do it elegantly, or do we do it more crudely, like har raat nikal jaana (leaving home every night) in search of someone? That is what dating is now, and it's a horrible situation.'

India's biggest flop film, made for Rs 70 crore but failed to earn even Rs 7 crore, movie name is..., lead actor was...
Released in 2023, Tejas was pitched as a patriotic drama, directed by Sarvesh Mewara and headlined by Kangana Ranaut. Expectations were sky-high. Made on a massive budget of Rs 70 crore, the film was promoted aggressively, with Kangana herself putting her full weight behind it. Yet, when it hit theatres, the reality was starkly different. The audience stayed away. On its opening day, Tejas struggled badly — so much so that the film has now entered the list of Kangana's lowest-grossing ventures. Despite releasing on more than 2,000 screens, the movie could not pull in crowds. How much did Tejas earn? The numbers paint a grim picture. Domestically, Tejas crawled to a mere Rs 4.25 crore, while overseas markets added only Rs 70 lakh. Even after selling OTT, music, and satellite rights, the makers managed to recover just about Rs 17 crore. Put together, the earnings fell drastically short of expectations, barely covering half the cost of production. By the end, the producers were staring at a loss of nearly Rs 50 crore — making Tejas one of the most disappointing big-ticket films in recent years. Did theatres stay empty? Yes. Theatrical occupancy was shockingly low. On Friday morning shows, reports revealed that 94 out of every 100 seats were vacant. Evening and night shows offered some relief, with occupancy touching 10%, but that was nowhere near enough. At best, the film crawled past the Rs 1 crore mark on its first day, but the damage had already been done. Why did Tejas fail despite a patriotic theme? Industry watchers suggest that while the film banked on nationalistic emotions, it failed to connect with the audience on an emotional or cinematic level. Viewers felt the story lacked freshness, and even Kangana's performance could not lift it. The hype created before release simply did not match the content offered on screen. For Kangana Ranaut and the makers, Tejas turned out to be more of a nightmare than a dream project. Despite the patriotic theme, wide release, and aggressive promotion, the film's failure proves once again that star power alone cannot guarantee success at the box office.

Kangana Ranaut breaks silence on claims of dating married men: 'When they hit on you...'
The actress said, 'When you are young and ambitious, and a married man with kids hits on you, it's you who are falling for someone in a relationship.' Kangana Ranaut began her Bollywood career in the year 2006 with Anurag Basu's Gangster. She became one of the finest actors of the industry but she forayed into politics and last year, said she would quit acting if she won the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. Ranaut was quoted saying, 'The film world is a lie, everything there is fake. They create a very different environment. It is a glossy world like a fake bubble which is to attract the audience.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD And now, in an interview with Hauterrfly, the actress broke her silence on allegations that she has dated married men. Ranaut was linked with Hrithik Roshan and Aditya Pancholi, but both the actors denied the claims. The actress said, 'When you are young and ambitious, and a married man with kids hits on you, it's you who are falling for someone in a relationship.' She added, 'It's not the man's fault. People always find a way to blame the women in the situation. Look at the rape victims who get blamed for wearing certain types of clothes or being out late at night. All these are markers of the wrong mentality.' Kangana Ranaut on her hard times It was a very difficult and very harsh time. I was physically abused. I don't have to go into details. I felt trapped. You feel people might help you. But there are no free lunches. But when you are going, you fall for it. This man, who was my father's age, hit me hard on my head when I was 17. I started bleeding. I took out my sandal and hit his head hard, and he started to bleed too. I lodged an FIR against the man. Kangana Ranaut, who made her debut in 2006 with Gangster, went on to give several memorable films and bagged awards for her portrayals in Queen, Fashion, Manikarnika, Tanu Weds Manu Returns and others.
