When Kangana Ranaut slammed actors for not speaking up about important issues: "Aap successful hai kyu?"
Kangana Ranaut
has always been honest to her heart and spoken up about concerns she feels are important to address. In a now-viral clip of the 39-year-old actress, she is being critical of the Bollywood folks who are placed on a pedestal but often don't use it to speak about the crucial matters.
Kangana Ranaut questions the artists...
In a clip posted by the Bollywood Hungama six years ago, Kangana bashed the artists who avoid speaking about the political issues because they get into a difficult situation. While addressing paparazzi and multiple media outlets, for which the actress is getting all sorts of praise, she further said, 'If you, the successful people for whom the 25 media cameras follow everywhere, won't talk about it, then who will?'
"You have been placed on a pedestal by the audience..."
Questioning the success of the artists, Kangana asked, 'Why are you successful? What is the point of your success? You earn your money, you eat, drink and have fun.'
'This is not real - You haven't been placed on a pedestal so that you could live your little life and then get going. You have been placed on a pedestal by the audience, so that you could think about them as well,' Ranaut continued in frustration.

Kangana Ranaut's frustration with artists and sportsmen embracing...
A couple of years later, the
Padma Shri awardee
bashed
Bollywood artists
and
Indian sportsmen
who embrace artists from
Pakistan
and China, claiming that it would be demoralising for the soldiers to witness the love while they guard the borders.
Kangana stated in an interview with New18 while promoting her film 'Tejas,' 'I have noticed in the TV debates, where the soldiers ask when Bollywood is showcasing its love for the artists of Pakistan and China, cricketers are hugging them, then am I the only one who thinks of them as enemies?'
'What does a soldier feel? When they are guarding our borders, they have an emphasised notion, but it must be demoralising when the people of the country speak in such a manner,' she added.

When Isha Koppikar spoke about her 'tough' divorce with husband Timmy Narang: 'It was irresponsible of him...'
Isha Koppikar opened up about her divorce from Timmy Narang. She said they drifted apart after 14 years of marriage. Timmy initiated the split. Isha found the decision tough but necessary. She expressed disappointment over how Timmy told their daughter, Rianna, about the separation. The couple officially divorced in November 2023. Isha and Timmy married in November 2009. Isha Koppikar had once broke her silence on a deeply personal chapter of her life—her divorce from husband and hotelier Timmy Narang. In a heartfelt conversation with Bombay Times, the actor reflected on the end of their 14-year marriage, calling the decision 'tough' but necessary. From emotional revelations to parenting challenges, Isha offered a rare glimpse into the complexities of love, separation, and self-discovery. When asked about the reason behind her separation from Timmy, Isha shared that there wasn't a single moment or issue to blame—the two simply drifted apart. She revealed that it was Timmy who initiated the split, saying it wasn't working out, and she accepted it. While it would have been easy for her to refuse the divorce, Isha said that would have gone against her values. The couple parted ways amicably, though she admitted it was a difficult phase. A deeply spiritual person, Isha said she eventually found the answers she was seeking. Reflecting on their relationship, she added, 'What's the point of staying together if it only leads to constant fights? Even water, when stagnant, begins to stink.'

You can't win an audience by being predictable: Shanvi Srivastava
As an actor, my goals have evolved; I now aspire to be seen as a long-term contender rather than someone who was once a successful actor,' says Shanvi Srivastava . This shift in perspective is reflected in her recent film choices, particularly her upcoming Malayalam film directed by HK Prakash, which also stars Tom Shine Chacko. Shanvi plays a grey character in what she describes as a 'new-age film' that explores the world of narcotics through a wacky lens. 'If there's one industry where I'd blindly trust a script without even asking who the lead is, it's Malayalam. The moment they asked for more dates for promotions than my actual shoot schedule, I knew this project was the real deal,' she says. Excerpts: 'Unpredictability is the best way to win an audience' After exploring such a role in Richie Rich, Shanvi reveals she's now tackling another 'not-so-good' character in her upcoming film. 'My character in this new film is no Miss Goody Two Shoes. I know that's the kind of image I've had so far, but here, I'm stepping into a bossy, not-so-good space,' she says, adding, 'I've realised that unpredictability is the best way to win audiences. They would never expect me to turn out bad. ' 'After the big high in my career, came the lows' Shanvi notes that she experienced a significant high with her last major commercial flick in Kannada, Avane Srimannarayana. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo 'I had never experienced such a high before, and that role gave me so much,' she recalls. 'I remember meeting a big Tamil actor who told me they were considering me for a huge film after watching me in Avane Srimannarayana. That film didn't take off because of lockdown, and I can't help but think where I would have been professionally if that movie had happened. ' After Avane Srimannarayana's success, she took on two smaller Kannada films, Bang and Kasturi Mahal, which gave her a taste of working on smaller productions. 'Until then, I had only done big films with known actors. So, after the big high, came the lows,' Shanvi observes, and adds that it was this shift that changed her approach to selecting films: 'Now my judgment about picking films has also changed: I will pick technically strong teams, and look at doing long-term work rather than short-term success,' she says. 'A middle path must be found where all good films get their due' Reflecting on the current pan-Indian trend, she observes, 'This is a concept that has worked like magic, but at the same time, it has created a distance between local films and what you term as 'pan-India films.' So, you're either a superstar or you're a nobody. To be a pan-India film, the project needs to be of a certain scale. And smaller films never get a chance to be pitted in this scenario. It's just not fair. Aachar and Co was such a wonderful film. But it didn't get the chance to be appreciated on a larger platform because it wasn't a pan-India film. Such films also need recognition. There had to be an amalgamation of the bigger films that go the whole distance across the nation and local films that stay in the region - a middle path must be found where all good films get their due,' says Shanvi.
