Kangana Ranaut: audience praising Animal is ‘discouraging’
Kangana Ranaut expressed her desire to “give the best years of my life to something worthwhile” by leaving the film industry. She disclosed her future endeavors.
Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, has drawn criticism from Kangana Ranaut, albeit she did not mention the movie. Kangana stated that the public supports “women beating films where they are treated like sex objects and asked to lick shoes” when she took to X (previously known as Twitter) on Monday. She said that, as someone who has been working on films that promote women, that was “deeply discouraging.”

In addition, Kangana suggested that she might leave the movie industry “to give the best years of my life to something worthwhile.” She claimed that she turned down roles with Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Akshay Kumar “not because I had anything personal against them.” In addition, the actor questioned whether viewers were complicit in the “steep regression of women in films.”
Someone tweeted, “#Tejas on Zee 5,” in support of Kangana’s Tejas on X movie on Monday. A truly fantastic film with Kangana. Ignore the reasons behind the film’s lack of success. The group led by Karan Johar wants to ruin her career. Need to see.”
Animal is criticized by Kangana
She responded, “Paid negativity for my films is overwhelming, I have been fighting hard so far but even audiences are encouraging women to beat films where they are treated like sex objects and asked to lick shoes, this is deeply discouraging for someone who has been dedicating her life for woman empowerment films, might shift career in coming years, want to give best years of my life to something worthwhile.”
Kangana stated in another tweet: “It’s horrifying that there is a new trend in films where women are forcibly and shamefully stripped of their clothes and dignity, and reduced to nothing more than flowers on the wall. reminds me of the days when I first started going to movies and saw a lot of obscene item numbers, fast-paced sleazy roles, and foolish roles directed towards older guys. Many years later, I ruffled a lot of hats while pushing for pay parity and supporting female lead films like Gangster, Woh Lamhe, Fashion, Queen, Tanu Weds Manu, Manikarnika, Thalaivii, and Tejas I.
Will Kangana pursue a political career?
A person inquired about her remark that she “might shift careers in the coming years” and whether she hinted at running for MP this year. Kangana responded, “No, no, please don’t overthink it, I’m also getting into the restaurant business…. Politics is lokseva, not business.”
Javed Akhtar also criticized Animal.
Javed Akhtar recently stated that the success of a film in which “a man asks a woman to lick his shoe” is “very dangerous.” According to Javed, “If there’s a film in which a man asks a woman to lick his shoe or if a man says it’s okay to slap a woman, and if the film is a super duper hit, then that’s very dangerous.”
The Animal team targeted him, claiming that if a “writer of your caliber cannot understand the betrayal of a lover,” then all of his “art form is big false.” In a scene from the movie Animal, Rannvijay (Ranbir Kapoor), the main character, asks Zoya (Triptii Dimri) to lick his shoes as a sign of her love for him.
