“u2018Oh, she is playing the woman cardu2019, u2018C’mon, why is she is playing the woman card’… Gosh, the selective feminism of Bollywood!. u201cItu2019s a witch huntu201d, u201cShe is being harassed for loving the man of her lifeu201d, u201cSmash patriarchyu201d. As Bollywood came out with a vengeance to support Rhea Chakraborty, many also tagged this whole case as a ‘men vs women’ story. Okay, letu2019s rewind and talk about the chapter when Kangana Ranaut spoke about nepotism on Karan Joharu2019s show. Soon after her comment, she was made fun of, joked about and called out for playing the woman card at award nights and red carpets by the same set of Bollywood people. In Kanganau2019s words, u201cIn 2008, Movie Mafia declared me a Psycho, in 2016 they called me a Witch and Stalker. In 2020 Maharashtra Minister publicity gave me the title of Haramkhor Ladki, because I said after a murder I feel unsafe in Mumbai, where are INTOLERANCE debate warriors?u201d. So Bollywood, is there anything wrong in expressing your feelings and is it right to call a woman u201cwitchu201d and u201cpsychou201d? You didnu2019t react when Aamir Khan spoke about u201cleaving the countryu201d after the intolerance debate. Why? Is it because he is the u201cKhanu201d of the industry and you wish to work with him one day? Who cares about Kangana, right? Who is she u2013 just a Padma Shri winner, a three-time National Award winning actress who gave women-centric films in Bollywood some much-needed attention. Wait a second. Did you just say that she got all the awards because she is a big time u201cbhaktu201d of our Prime Minister? In that case, why donu2019t we troll Akshay Kumar too?. A woman, who never hesitated from calling a spade a spade and spoke about Bollywood’s underbelly in the public domain, she is now fighting her battle alone and this time she has hit the right nerve u2013 the use of substance abuse in the glamour world. u00a0This didnu2019t go well with some people as they wonder what they will do now that Rhea is behind bars and has reportedly given names of 25 personalities. They have swords hanging on their neck. So, letu2019s use the power of social media to show fake feminism and support the one who has been taken into custody after proper investigation and evidence. I remember in many of my interviews, I get ‘instructed’ beforehand not to ask u201ccontroversial questionsu201d, which includes nepotism, movie mafia, the insider-outsider debate, et al. Hey Bollywood, if you are that concerned, letu2019s talk about it whenever it is questioned right?. Kanganau2019s direct war with the Mumbai government for comparing the City of Dreams with PoK got on the nerves of ruling party Shiv Sena and its leader Sanjay Raut, who used slur words for the actress. He may have apologized later but the action spoke otherwise. Kanganau2019s dream office u2013 Manikarnika Films– was been demolished without proper notice, in her absence, and despite the High Courtu2019s objection. So in short, if you are living in Mumbai you are on your own, especially if you go against the power– be it Bollywood or Government.u2018.”
