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."
