Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has shared her views on same-sex marriage, sparking reactions from the LGBTQ community and her fans. The actress, known for her outspoken personality, said that two individuals’ hearts coming together is what matters, and their preference shouldn’t be anyone else’s concern. She also tweeted her support for same-sex marriage, saying that one’s identity is formed by what they do in the world, not what they do in bed, and that preferences should be kept private. However, she added that they should not be flaunted like medals.
Kangana’s views have surprised and impressed many, including openly gay filmmaker Apurva Asrani, who thanked her for her support. Asrani has been one of the most vocal supporters of the legalisation of same-sex marriage in India, and he retweeted the video of Kangana’s statement, writing, “From one Queen to another, Thankyou.”
India’s judicial system is currently considering the legalisation of same-sex marriage, and many prominent figures in the country have voiced their support for the LGBTQ community. Hansal Mehta, Vir Das, and others have openly supported same-sex marriage, and Kangana Ranaut’s recent statements have added to the conversation.
Kangana’s comments have also sparked discussions on social media, with some praising her for her liberal views and others criticizing her for not being vocal enough in the past. Nevertheless, her support for the LGBTQ community is significant, given her stature in the Indian entertainment industry and her large fan following.
On the work front, Kangana Ranaut is currently working on the film Emergency, in which she will portray the late Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. She has also recently wrapped up filming for Chandramukhi 2, and fans are eagerly awaiting the release of both films.
