Kangna Ranaut who has established a career in
Bollywood and is
one of the highest-paid actresses in India said that she was
an unwanted girl child who grew up continually being reminded about her unwanted
existence.
On the event of the
International Women's Day, the 28-year-old actress demanded that picture of
women as "selfless" Indian ladies who only care about the happiness
of the men in their lives should be stopped as it is reverting.
"My parents had a
child before Rangoli, who died within 10 days of his birth. He was called
Hero. My parents couldn't arise from the loss of that baby boy. But
then Rangoli happened and she was taken care of, there was a huge
celebration," Kangana said.
My parents could not come to terms with the fact that they had
another girl child.
"But when I was
born, my parents, especially my mother, couldn't come to terms with that fact
that they had another baby girl. I know these stories in detail because every
time a guest visited, or there was a gathering, they repeated this story in
front of me that how I was the unwanted child," Kangana added.
"It's very hard to
live in an atmosphere where you're prompted, constantly told that your
existence just happens to be here…that you are not meant to be here," she
said.
Kangana further added
that she never accepted the cast that boys are more important than girls, which
often led to certain "discomfort" while growing up.
