Kangana Ranaut on media scrutiny: “It’s like playing with fire”

Kangana Ranaut has always been known for her bold and outspoken attitude. She is not really the one who minces her words. The actress was recently in news for her ugly fight with a journalist from a reputed newswire. After the entire episode, she now feels she needs to be more cautious with her conduct.

Talking about constant media scrutiny, the three-time National Award-winning actress said to an entertainment portal, “It is very difficult to be in media’s scrutiny. And with one slip of the tongue, it is like playing with fire. Either you do it properly or, otherwise, you can do more damage than benefit.”


The Fashion (2008) actress is also known for always voicing concern for social and environmental initiatives. She recently donated Rs. 42 Lakhs for planting 1 lakh saplings across Cauvery basin and help the farmers to introduce agroforestry in an attempt to replenish the river ecosystem.

The actress says that more and more people need to work together to bring change in society, “In my 20s, I felt I would do charity, but now I feel one person is insignificant in the scheme of things. We need to get everyone together. It is not easy doing something like this. But I truly feel that it is not difficult for people to contribute,” she said.

Last seen in Judgementall Hai Kya (2019), Kangana Ranaut is now looking forward to the release of her next film Panga. Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, the movie revolves around the sports of Kabaddi and also features Pankaj Tripathi, Jassi Gill, Richa Chadha and Neena Gupta in important roles. It is scheduled to release in 2020.

She is also gearing up to begin the first shooting schedule of her much-talked-about film Thalaivi. The movie, which is being made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, is a biopic based on the life of former actress and politician Jayalalithaa. The actress also stars in an out-and-out action entertainer titled Dhaakad, which hits theatres on Diwali 2020.
