Kangana Ranaut is the Queen of Bollywood box office, who made her debut in 2006 in the film “Gangster”. Her “Tanu Weds Manu Returns” has just opened to the greatest weekend collections of any of its Bollywood counterpart this year. With spends of Rs 30 crores including their promotions, the film is in the category of full paisa vasool. Kangana is the film’s biggest star and this “Queen” star has proved that the rules of the game are changing.
As the recent trend of Bollywood box-office has changed the face of Indian film industry, the audience have also accepted it with full swing. “Tanu Weds Manu Returns” has already made a whopping Rs 55 crore worldwide since its release on last Friday. “Piku”, the pleasant, scatology-filled play, starring Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan, has just crossed the 100 crore mark worldwide, and that too without any song, dance or six packs. “Dum Laga Ke Haisha” was the other sleeper hit that stormed the box office, with its very first overweight actress.
Besides the latest box offices releases, there is another hot news that needs your attention. Kangana Ranaut has refused to endorse a fairness cream and turned down an offer of Rs 2 crore. She makes her point by saying that it took her 10 years because she didn’t do shows, went for awards, didn’t dance at weddings and that’s why many agencies abandoned her. She could never understand why brown people should be white. This was not at all an acceptable word – fair, she further added.
She straight away said that people should know what is acceptable and what is not. “You are pale, you are dark, you are brown or you are black, there is nothing called fair. So stop using this humiliating word”, thebold actress openly speaks up. Kangana also thinks that the government should ban these products and she had actually said no to many such products, that’s why you see her in very few endorsements. She also thinks that these things are sort of inculcating an inferiority complex in our youth, in our women folk, in our men folk and it’s just idiotic.
Companies endorse their fairness product as key to super success and the only way to achieve everything in life. Teens being helpless are most affected by this mania. This endemic had its focus only on girls up till few years ago, but now boys seem to be conscious about their fairness too. On-screen Queen Kangana Ranauthas made a bold statement rejecting 2 crore rupees offer to endorse a fairness product.
She said “Ever since I was a kid, I have never understood the concept of fairness. Especially, in such a case, as a celebrity, what kind of an example would I be setting for younger people? I have no regrets about turning this offer down. As a public figure, I have responsibilities towards the society and my value system. If other stars are doing it, it’s highly irresponsible behavior on their part. But if they feel it is correct, I can’t change their opinion. I strongly feel that people should be responsible for their actions.”
Kangana Ranaut is the Queen of Bollywood, who puts her point that it is more or less like committing crime, as it is affecting billions of people and it is clearly misleading them to lose their self confidence. Guys, girls, all you people, you are beautiful the way you are. Your health and character makes who you really are and for success in any sphere of life, you don’t need to be fairer than you are now. Moreover many researches show, these fairness products do more harm than good to your skin.
The salutation is for Kangana for making a statement on the weird society we have about fairer skin.
