Kangana Ranaut reveals her mother threw her dolls linking them to her delayed periods: 'I was horrified…'

Kangana Ranaut is known for her outspoken nature. She consistently shares her opinions on various topics, never hesitating to voice her views. This habit has made her a prominent figure in public discourse, where she fearlessly expresses her thoughts. During a recent conversation, the actress shared intimate details about her family, including the heartbreaking loss of her parents' firstborn son and her personal challenges growing up in a patriarchal environment.

The actress disclosed that before her elder sister Rangoli was born, her parents had a son named Hero who died ten days after birth. Kangana mentioned her parents attributed this loss to hospital negligence.

“My mother’s firstborn was a baby boy who didn’t survive. He passed away just 10 days after his birth. My father had named him Hero, so losing him was an extremely painful experience for them. He was born in a hospital, weighed 3.5 kilos, and had no medical complications. My mother believes it was the carelessness of the hospital staff that killed her son, as they cut his umbilical cord incorrectly," Kangana told Hauterrfly.

She mentioned that the incident completely changed her family's approach to childbirth. “After that, my grandmother took over and declared that none of us would be born in a hospital. After this incident, my mother conceived three more times and my aunt twice, and all of us were born in the same house, in the same room. Hospitals were banned for us."

The actress also recalled how gender bias shaped her early years. She said that her parents now feel embarrassed about these things, but back then, within the family, girls were often demeaned and mocked. They would comment things like, "She hasn't been taught this, keep her inside, otherwise the elder girl won't get married." These remarks affected her bond with her siblings and often made her feel isolated.

Kangana also discussed her delayed puberty and how her mother connected it to her love for dolls. “All my friends got their periods between classes 6 and 9, and I was still waiting. This worried my mother. At the time, I was obsessed with my dollhouse. One day, my mom got extremely angry: ‘Already her period is delayed, and she is still obsessed with her dolls.’ She threw them away, thinking they were the reason for the delay. Then one day, I woke up and everything around me had blood on it. I was horrified, while my mother was happy that I had finally started menstruating."
