New Delhi: Actress Kangana Ranaut recently revealed that she was called an ‘interfering bitch' when she tried to give her inputs while working in movies.
“Being an actress when I started contributing to my films, writing dialogues and screenplays, I thought people would find me useful. I can do a lot more than many other actors. I was shocked to see that it was seen as something which is not accepted no matter how much they are benefiting from it,” said Kangana.
She made these comments while participating in a session on ‘Women In Films' at the ongoing MAMI Film Festival in Mumbai on November 3.
During the interaction, Kangana highlighted how she was shooed away while male superstars in the same movie were given immense freedom to dole out tips.
“When I want to contribute to a film because I have a title role, my contribution is seen as interference. But when a male actor, who is this maverick, larger than life person, does the same thing, it is not considered that way. I was called an interfering b***h," she said.

While explaining her stand and why she wanted her opinions to be counted, Kangana said, “As a creative person I find it inspirational. I want to do the same thing and achieve the same status in society. And I think being an actress, the attitude is just the same. People think nice women are the silent ones and smart*** is the one who thinks what is good for her.”
Female actresses have always been on the receiving end of differential treatment by Bollywood filmmakers and Kangana's revelation has just increased their number.
It is disheartening to see such bad treatment to such a talented actress who went on to win a National Award in her career later.
