Kangana- Think before you Leap

• Kangana's response to the famous video 'My Choice'.

Women empowerment does not mean you create complex among men. Then it will take 20 more years to empower men. It is all about evolving as a soul, as a human being. It does not mean that you become a sexist... But I am glad that people are contributing in their own way. Everyone has different expectations but it should be appreciated for the efforts they are putting in.

• This is what she said about fandom and stardom, celebrities often boast about.

"It's quite absurd that we are perceived as stars. I'm not quite comfortable with people identifying themselves as my fans. You know nothing about me. You have just seen me perform in a film. How can you be my fan? But there are people who comfortably say that they have thousands of fans. They are your audience and they will be around as long as you keep making movies. It's like gurus having followers. Why are these gurus pretending to be gods and why are these actors pretending to be stars? It's nothing more than a personality disorder. If I have to tell you honestly, I want an audience and not fans."

• Talking about item songs and why she had rejected 6 item songs, at Satyameva Jayate.
  

The kid of one of my friends was dancing on one of the item songs. She was rehearsing her steps. It was looking cute on her because she was a tiny kid. But it made me think about how it would shape her mentally as she grows up. She would start feeling that this is what gets appreciation and it is a way of being accepted. For the first time in my life I felt responsible for it,

That's when I took a little stand. I have rejected six item songs in the last four years,

The way we show girls in our film, and the kind of words that are used like 'Tandoori murgi hoon' are not good. He will pull at her skirt or take off her dupatta. And it doesn't seem to matter. No matter how much we defend our country and our films, this (the portrayal of women in films and item songs) is shameful; the way we are showing things in our films to the next generation.

• Kangana Ranaut was recently offered a whooping 2 crore to endorse a fairness cream, but she declined it and this is what she said when asked why.

Ever since I was a kid, I have never understood the concept of fairness. Especially, in such a case, as a celebrity, what kind of example would I be setting for younger people? I have no regrets about turning this offer down. As a public figure, I have responsibilities. My sister (Rangoli Ranaut) is dusky, yet beautiful. If I go ahead and be a part of this campaign, then, in a way, I would be insulting her. If I can't do that to my sister, then how can I do it to an entire nation?
