Kangana Ranaut slams Mrs. indirectly; blames ‘Bollywood films for distorting marriage’ February 24, 2025 at 01:58PM

On Sunday, Kangana Ranaut penned a series of notes on her Instagram story where she called out ‘films’ promoting ‘divorces’ without naming any. However, internet and audiences were quick to realize that the actress has shared her two cents over the ongoing debate on Mrs. wherein Sanya Malhotra portrays a frustrated housewife, who loses her cool, after she gets married into a misogynist household. While many Indian wives have showcased their support towards the film and calling out such ‘patriarchal’ norms and attitudes, Kangana believes that such films ‘corrupt’ people’s thoughts on marriage.

“Growing up, I never saw a woman who didn’t command her household, ordered everyone when to eat when to sleep and when to go out, asked her husband about every penny that he spent and he obligated. Only conflicts were his boys outings and frequent drinking evenings with friends. Whenever papa wanted to eat out with us she scolded us all because cooking for us was her joy. This way, she could control many things including the hygiene/ the nutrition of the food. Elderly folks worked as nannies to her kids and emotional support system. Women of the house dadi, mumma, chachi are our ultimate queens and we hope to be like them. Of course there can be case of devaluing women but let’s stop generalizing Indian joint families and demonizing elderly people. Also, let’s stop comparing women of the house with paid labour,” her first note on her Instagram story read.

The second one commented on marriage as the actress wrote, “Please understand marriages are not for attention seeking or validation, it is for the best interest of those who are vulnerable, it is essentially for the elderly and the newborns, both are helpless, that is what shashtras say, our parents did every thing for us and their elders but never questioned anything, they simply did. Too many Bollywood love stories have distorted the ideas of marriages, marriages should be how it has always been in this country, it always had a purpose and the purpose was Dharma which essentially means duty. That's it, do your duty and move on, life is too short and fast, if you try to get too much validation or footage you will end up alone with your therapist”.

“Shashtras says there is no joy in other human being, there is no joy in success, wealth, marriage/in being single or in any other worldly pleasure, they never said these things can satisfy a human being, true joy lies in being united with paramaatma, if you seek joy look for it in the right place, rest every where else do your duty don't try to extract joy, trust me it's not even there but by limited perception let's not dismantle social institutions like marriages, our biggest strengths our joint families, let's not endorse divorces, let's not encourage younger generations to abandon older parents, or not have babies. We as a nation must be rooted in our ancient wisdom to be able to reach our future goals”, the concluding note stated. Kangana didi- supreme hypocrite byu/vsingh9274 inBollyBlindsNGossip

However, internet did not take this kindly and decided to lash out at the actress and her hypocrisy. “Why don’t she get married,have kids and take care of her parents,cook n not eat out…set an example…and fulfill her dharma…” asked one of the reddit users, and another one added, “She is just scared that another curly hair girl will usurp the throne. She did the same to Tapsee and now Sanya.”

Speaking of Mrs., the film is a remake of the Malayalam film The Great Indian Kitchen, starring Sanya Malhotra in the lead and the film released on OTT sparking much debate over the duties of a wife.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
