10 instances where Kangana Ranaut’s statements were challenged

Kangana Ranaut, whose name is synonymous with controversy, has undoubtedly found herself in the midst of heated arguments. While acknowledging times of insensitivity and disrespect, it’s worth peeling back the layers to find a self-made, strong, and firmly brave woman. Behind the headlines is a story of bravery and strength, of a woman unafraid to cut through the noise and speak up for herself, of embracing a no-nonsense attitude in a world frequently dimmed by diplomacy.

Kangana has been an outspoken supporter of women’s rights, and gender equality, and challenging society’s perceptions of what a woman should and should not be. So, here are 10 instances where she stated her views without hesitation:

1) Feminism of Choice

While Ranaut portrays herself as a supporter of women’s rights, her statements on feminism have been erratic. Critics believe that her brand of feminism is selective, focusing on personal vendettas rather than the larger concerns confronting women.
