Kangana Ranaut Pens Strong Message on Independence Day: 'If You're Artist, Don't Promote Vulgarity'

Kangana Ranaut, the outspoken actress and politician, took to Instagram this Independence Day to share a powerful message about the responsibilities that come with freedom. In her Instagram story, Kangana highlighted the importance of respecting the nation, following basic etiquettes, and contributing positively to society. She urged her followers not to ridicule their country, and to be mindful of their actions, both in public and private life.

Kangana’s message also touched upon the responsibilities of artists and public figures. She emphasised that those in the limelight should avoid promoting vulgarity or content that encourages violence. Instead, she advocated for work that adds value to the nation and contributes to its moral and cultural fabric. The actress concluded her message with a call to be truthful, honest, and sincere in all endeavours, and to love and pray for the nation’s well-being.

“If you are an artist don’t promote vulgarity or for some quick bucks don’t do atrocious work which promotes rapes and violence,” she added.

This message comes at a time when Kangana is gearing up for the release of her much-anticipated film “Emergency.” Directed by Ranaut herself, the movie delves into the political turmoil of 1975, when then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency across India. Kangana, known for her intense and nuanced performances, will portray the late Prime Minister, offering what promises to be a riveting depiction of one of the most controversial periods in Indian political history.

“Emergency” is slated for release later this year and is already generating significant buzz. With Kangana at the helm, both as the lead actor and director, expectations are high. The film will likely explore the impact of the Emergency on the nation, drawing parallels between past and present-day political landscapes.

In a recent candid interview with Variety, Kangana opened up about the difficulties balancing her political responsibilities with her thriving film career. “Being a parliamentarian is a very demanding job,” she shared. “Especially in my constituency, we’ve had floods, so I am all over the place. I have to go to Himachal and see to it that things are being taken care of.”

The impact of her political career on her film work is evident, as she admitted that her projects are suffering. “My film work is suffering. My projects are waiting. I’m not able to start my shoots,” she said.
