Kangana Ranaut is gearing up for the release of the next film Panga, which revolves around the story of a National-level Kabaddi player trying to make a comeback after embracing motherhood.
In a recent interaction, Kangana Ranaut was asked how she felt about marriage and having children. Kangana, at her candid best, revealed her thoughts on how marriage is not a compulsion right now, and how she was in a very happy and content space, both professionally and personally.
She said, “When I was in my 20s, I was desperate for a family. I felt incomplete and thought my own people would make me feel complete. With time, I have come to realise that this is not true. So, right now there’s no compulsion to be a wife and a mother. I’m at a phase when I’m just beginning to enjoy my life. If someone can add to it, I’m fine, but if, as a woman, I am expected to ensure he’s emotionally stable, enhance his spiritual growth, be lucky and bring him financial windfalls and take on the responsibility of a home, children and family, then, I’m not up for that. At the moment, I have no time for people who come with any kind of baggage.”
She also opened up about the horrific acid attack on her sister, and how they all have come out of it stronger.
“Well, for the longest time, we’ve been emotionally scarred by what happened to my sister Rangoli (Chandel) after the acid attack. It took a long time, but finally, she is happy, with a child all of us dote on. Her husband’s business is doing well and my mamma, who was grappling with some health issues, is fully recovered. Also, the half-a-dozen cases filed against me have been dismissed as the allegations couldn’t be proved. My brother Akshit and I have just launched a production house and we’re starting from scratch, we aim to do some good work. This is a wonderful time for all of us; I’ve never felt so good. The world is respectful; there’s a lot to do and give. And for the first time, I can think about myself. Let me be a little self-centered and enjoy what I have earned. I don’t have the time and energy to invest in another family. That can come later.”
Panga has been directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, and will release on 24th January, 2020.
