Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut is often referred to as a fashion icon of Bollywood. She knows how to capture the limelight with her eclectic style and bold statements. On Thursday, she was honoured with CNN IBN Indian of the Year award. While addressing the gathering, she thanked her well wishers and also expressed her opinion on the battle of upcoming film “Udta Punjab” with the Censor Board.
She said, “We all have been concerned with the way things are going. I am not a director and have never been through that process but my friends seem extremely disturbed with the way things are. In fact, they feel bullied. They know there is a process of certification. But the thing is, we don’t need to have that parental attitude towards audiences that we have to protect them.”
The actress added, “This reminds me of a particular incident in my movie Queen. There is a scene where my bra is on the bed…One day my director called me and said that censor board asked to blur it. We had put a lot of work on that bra. It was flown abroad all the way from Lajpath Nagar. So, we were shocked. Why do we see it as a danger to society? A woman’s bra is not a danger to society!”
Kangana further said, “We need our own creative freedom and we are pressed against the wall. There is so much outrage…I hope that it will be addressed and I hope that there won’t be such incidences in the future.”
