Kangana Ranaut says, don’t make gender or sexual preference your identity – Times of India

She wrote, “Whether you are a man/woman/ anything else your gender is of no consequence to anyone but you, please understand. In Modern world we don’t even use words like actresses or female directors we call them actors and directors. What you do in the world is your identity, not what you do in bed. Whatever your sexual preferences are they must remain in your bed only. Don’t make them your identity card or medals and flaunt every where.”

Kangana also added, “Most importantly don’t roam around with a knife to cut every throat who don’t agree with your gender. I am again saying your gender is not your identity don’t make it that way. I am a woman from rural area life gave me no concession I had to make my own place in the world of actors, film makers, producers and writers.”

The point Kangana was trying to make was a person’s identity should be built on their work and achievements, rather than their sexual preferences and gender beliefs.

“Never ever see people from the lens of gender or any other physical attributes. You know what happened to those who thought Kangana is just a woman. They were in for a big surprise because I am not, I never see/perceive myself or anyone else that way. I am always in a room full of people, individual energies only people not men/women/homo/hetro/ physically strong or weak, no!!!!!! I would have not come this far had I judged everyone around me and myself on so many levels …. Why you all waste so much time on physicality of people around you, please understand you won’t go very far if you have such limiting view and perception of the world ……. and those who don’t judge others will never judge themselves either …. So free yourself from gender or any other limiting perception…. Rise and shine as who you are and Dharma says you are God absolute divine way beyond the physical… All the best,” she said.

The actress got a lot of appreciation and acceptance for her words from netizens. Kangana will now be seen in the role of Indira Gandhi in her upcoming film Emergency, which is produced and directed by her. She also has a film called Tejas lined up which features her as an Air Force pilot.
