Kangana Ranaut says women in Himachal 'deserve hype', shares Preity Zinta, Yami Gautam, Pratibha Ranta...

Kangana Ranaut, the actress and BJP MP from a small town in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh, recently praised other women from her state, like Preity Zinta, Yami Gautam, and Pratibha Ranta, saying they deserve more attention.

On Sunday, December 29, Kangana posted a story on her Instagram to honor them, sharing a collage with pictures of Preity, Yami, Pratibha, and herself. She wrote, "'#peopleofhimachal When I go to Himachal and see our women equally or better looking than us work tirelessly in the fields no Insta no reels raising cattle and making the ends meet. I feel they can definitely do with some hype. #himachaligenes #himachaliwomen."

Recently, Kangana shared her thoughts on sexual harassment, following Blake Lively's allegations against her "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni. On her Instagram story, Kangana called the situation "shameful" and compared it to similar issues in the Bollywood industry, mentioning the Hema Committee report.

The actress wrote, "Even in Hollywood women who refuse to compromise, they are maligned and their careers are destroyed its not just Bollywood similar report called Heme Committee had come out about the Malayalam film industry, it is worrying and shameful."

Kangana's most recent film was Tejas, released in 2023. In the movie, she played the role of IAF officer Tejas Gill, alongside co-stars Anshul Chauhan and Varun Mitra. 

Kangana is now waiting for the release of Emergency, which is set to hit theaters on January 17, 2025, after several delays. The film was postponed because it didn't meet the censorship requirements of the Central Board of Film Certification.

Kangana not only directed and co-produced the film but also stars as Indira Gandhi. Emergency also features Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Mahima Chaudhry, and Satish Kaushik.
