As Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut gears up for her anticipated Lok Sabha election bid from Himachal Pradesh Mandi, she found herself entangled in controversy regarding her past comments about fellow actress Urmila Matondkar. During a recent interaction at the Times Now Summit 2024, Kangana sought to clarify her stance on the matter, addressing the usage of terms like ‘soft porn star’ and ‘porn star’ while defending her previous remarks.

Kangana Ranaut’s statements stemmed from a broader discussion on societal perceptions and Bollywood’s portrayal of women. She questioned the double standards prevalent in the industry, highlighting terms like ‘tandoori murgi’ and ‘item girl’ that are commonly used without raising eyebrows. Ranaut emphasized that if actresses are comfortable with such terms, why should they be shamed or criticized?

In defense of her previous comment about Urmila Matondkar, Kangana asserted that terms like ‘porn star’ and ‘soft porn’ are not inherently derogatory, citing the respect received by individuals associated with the adult entertainment industry in India, notably mentioning Sunny Leone. She reiterated that her intention was not to shame Matondkar but to address the prevailing drug culture in Bollywood during her previous statements.

The controversy initially surfaced when Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate made an offensive comment about Kangana Ranaut, leading to a chain of events culminating in the resurfacing of an old video where Ranaut referred to Matondkar as a ‘soft porn star.’ This exchange sparked a public debate on freedom of expression, social perceptions, and the nuances of language usage in the entertainment industry.

As Kangana Ranaut delves deeper into the political arena with her Lok Sabha election aspirations, her statements and clarifications regarding past controversies add layers to the ongoing discourse surrounding Bollywood, societal norms, and the intersection of entertainment and politics.
