Kangana Ranaut Unleashes Fury: Blasts Bollywood Films for Twisting the Sanctity of Marriage
On a recent Sunday, actress Kangana Ranaut stirred up conversation on her Instagram story by criticizing films that she perceives as promoting divorce, without directly naming any. Her comments are believed to be aimed at the newly released film “Mrs.,” where Sanya Malhotra plays a discontented housewife in a patriarchal household. While many Indian women have praised the film for spotlighting gender norms, Kangana took a different stance, arguing that such movies negatively influence perceptions of marriage.
In her posts, Kangana reminisced about her childhood, recalling the influential role women played in her household. She described them as commanding figures who managed the household with authority, showcasing her admiration for the joint family system. Kangana suggested that marriage should not be about seeking attention or validation, but rather about fulfilling one’s duties towards family, as aligned with ancient Indian scriptures or ‘shashtras’. She criticized Bollywood for distorting traditional ideas of marriage, emphasizing that marriage in India has always been about upholding Dharma or duty.
Kangana advised that true joy does not come from personal gain or marital status, but from spiritual unity. She urged her audience to uphold traditional social structures like joint families and discourage practices like divorce, which she sees as a threat to these institutions. Kangana concluded by encouraging adherence to ancient wisdom for future success.
The internet, however, responded with backlash, labeling Kangana’s views as hypocritical. Critics online suggested that if she believes so firmly in these values, she should marry and model them herself. Some accused her of attempting to overshadow other actresses, referencing past feuds with contemporaries like Tapsee Pannu and now, Sanya Malhotra. Meanwhile, “Mrs.,” a remake of the Malayalam film “The Great Indian Kitchen,” continues to spark discussions on the traditional roles of wives following its OTT release.
