Kangana Ranaut slams dating apps, calls them the 'the real gutter of our society': 'Every woman or man has needs but...'
Kangana Ranaut
recently criticised dating apps and the people who use them, calling them 'the real gutter of our society.' She said looking for a partner on such platforms is a 'low' thing to do.
Kangana on dating apps
In an interview with Hauterrfly, Kangana said she has never wanted to be on dating apps, calling them the true gutter of our society. She further added, "Everybody has a need, be it financial, physical, or anything else... Every woman and man have 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.
"
People using dating apps
The actress said she believes most regular people wouldn't want to be on dating apps. According to her, these platforms attract those who desire validation and lack confidence.
She added that she couldn't imagine interacting with people who use such apps.
Finding partners the traditional way
The 'Gangster' actress encouraged people to look for meaningful relationships in more traditional settings, such as workplaces, colleges, or through arranged matches by family.
'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, through your parents and relatives, and you've ended up on a dating app, imagine what sort of character you are.'
Marriage vs
Live-in Relationships
She also spoke in favour of marriage, calling it an important that represents a man's promise to remain loyal to his wife.
She criticised the growing trend of live-in relationships, saying that in her experience, both personal and from observing others, such arrangements are not supportive or beneficial for women.
"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," she stated.
Gender Differences
She remarked that, in her view, men are able to compartmentalise their emotions while women generally cannot, regardless of education or empowerment.
On the Work Front
She was last seen in 'Emergency', portraying former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Released in January, the film received negative to mixed reviews and performed poorly at the box office.

Mukesh Khanna criticizes Jaya Bachchan's behaviour towards paparazzi amid the recent Parliament row; describes her act as simply 'wrong'
Jaya Bachchan is one of the most talented stars we have in the industry. However, she often finds herself in hot water owing to her rapport with fans and paparazzi. Recently, as well, when a fan tried to take a selfie with Jaya Bachchan outside Parliament, she was taken by surprise. She pushed the person and lashed out at him. This behaviour made her receive heavy criticism, and now 'Shaktimaan' fame Mukesh Khanna has also called out Jaya Bachchan. 'Aj kal jo rajyad sabha me unko behaviour dikh rha hai, jo unka journalists k sath, kya bolte hai ap, paprazi ke sath, 'kon hai ap? Kya kare rhe ap? Kya chahiye apko?' galat hai.' (Her behaviour in the Parliament, with the journalists, paparazzi, saying who are you, what are you doing, what do you want, this is wrong), said Mukesh Khanna while speaking to FilmyGyan. He added, 'Aap inke liye jee rahe ho.' (You are living for them). He then cited Amreesh Puri and Dilip Kumar, and how they used to speak to the shutterbugs. 'Dilip sahab used to ask 'who is sitting behind the camera,' but that was because he had trouble with that, but the way she talks in Rajya Sabha,' he said, expressing his discontentment. 'I feel she is either upset with something at home, but the arguments she gives I don't like them," he said before adding and asking why else would an actress who is so talented, have given movies like 'Mili' and 'Abhimaan,' would indulge in such behaviour. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Kangana Ranaut and Ashoke Pandit slam Jaya Bachchan Mukesh Khanna is not the only one who disapproved of her behaviour.
