Kangana Ranaut breaks silence on claims of dating married men: 'When they hit on you...'

First Posta day ago
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.

I'm not well-versed in Hindi yet, but I want to do another big role in Bollywood: Deepak Paramesh

Reflecting on how he was approached for Ground Zero , Deepak tells us that he initially doubted the legitimacy of the project. I want to do lead roles in the future and explore different genres. Going by my looks, people think I'm a serious actor, but I love to do comedy. I'm open to experimentation,' begins actor Deepak Paramesh , who made his Bollywood debut this year with Emraan Hashmi 's Ground Zero . Reflecting on how he was approached for Ground Zero , Deepak tells us that he initially doubted the legitimacy of the project. 'I got a call from a casting director from Mumbai. The audition process went on for a couple of months. I initially thought somebody was fooling around with me. I was like, 'Why would someone connect with me from Mumbai when I am from Chennai?' I had to ask a couple of friends to verify if it was a legitimate audition,' he recalls. After he committed to doing the film, his biggest challenge was learning Hindi. He shares, 'I was the only South Indian on set. I had a language barrier. I was pretty scared to act in a different language, as I didn't want to fumble and embarrass myself. I asked my friends to record and send dialogues in Hindi so that I could hear them and practice.' Deepak considers being part of the film to be a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo 'I made sure I got the script in hand and practised my lines. So, I was well prepared three months before the shoot took off. Ground Zero has now given me a new level of confidence. I'm very much open to auditioning, and I want to do another big role in a Hindi film,' he says. Though he admits he's not wellversed in Hindi yet, he adds, 'But I now have a way to crack the language if I'm given time. If I'm well-prepared, I can speak any language. After Ground Zero , I've taken up dubbing projects, even in Telugu. Whether it be dubbing or acting, language doesn't matter. If you get the emotions right, all that you need to do is put them into words and convey them to the audience.' Stating that he doesn't find much of a difference in the Tamil and Hindi film industries, he says, 'Maybe the scale, in terms of budget, differs. Both industries are professional, but the way people move and communicate are different.' The actor has multiple projects lined up, including an anthology, titled Love-Fi . 'I play one of the leads in it. In my segment, I act alongside Samyuktha Viswanathan, who is a very disciplined actor. I'm also doing a supernatural thriller, titled Nila Varum Velai , with Kalidas Jayaram, and acting as one of the antagonists in Thadai Udai with Bobby Simha.' On a concluding note, he shares that he has now been trained to adapt as per the requirements of a film and its director. 'I have worked with directors who want exactly what's in the script. I've also worked with directors who want me to act impromptu. I got the training to do that from Karthik Subbaraj by absorbing his working style,' he signs off.

The tehsildar, Prashant Thorat, was recorded singing 'Yara Teri Yari Ko,' a hit track from the1981 Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Yaarana. A video of the moment showed Thorat singing the song with those around him clapping. The footage also captured a board behind Thorat with the words 'taluka magistrate' written on it. Slammed on social media: On July 30, he was transferred to Renapur in neighbouring Latur from Umri in the Nanded district. Since both areas are in the same division, he took charge of his new posting the same day. Thorat sang the song at his send-off party, which was organised on August 8 in Umri. The video of the farewell, once shared on the internet, didn't sit well with social media users. Many slammed Thorat, claiming that singing songs while sitting in the official chair is inappropriate and undermines the seriousness of his position. What happened next? In light of the controversy, the Nanded collector shared a report with the higher authorities about the matter. It stated that Thorat's conduct had tarnished the administration's image and violated the Maharashtra Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1979. According to an official, Divisional Commissioner of Revenue Jitendra Papalkar acted on the report and ordered Thorat's suspension. (With inputs from PTI)
