Kangana is brilliant but Simran is too chaotic!
The critics have delivered their verdict on Hansal Mehta’s comedy drama featuring the mercurial Kangana Ranaut that released today. And questions are now being asked. Did Kangana promote her film the way she was supposed to? Or did she only use national television to discuss her personal life and settle scores with her ex-flames? The outspoken actress was seen on several shows, but seldom did she talk about Simran. And all that people remember from her interviews are her controversial statements. Daringly, the outspoken actress took on Bollywood, attacking Hrithik Roshan, Aditya Pancholi and filmmaker Karan Johar for issues from the past that were still festering within her.
While some found the actress fierce, bold and blunt, others believed she was being unwise and irresponsible by provoking these Bollywood stalwarts. Many, however, took pleasure in the actress’ juicy exposes`
Peeping Moon.com spoke to Kangana’s industry colleagues and sought opinions on the actress’ defiant attitude. Was she justified in speaking about her personal life in public? Will this washing of dirty linen in public put an end to her career with Bollywood shutting its doors on the motor mouth actress? This is what they had to say:
Mukesh Bhatt, who gave Kangana her Bollywood break in 2006 with Gangster, is unhappy at the turn the actress’ personal life has taken. “I feel there is no need for all this,” he said, referring to Kangana’s spiteful war against Hrithik Roshan, Aditya Pancholi and Karan Johar on social media that was amplified by an opportunistic media. “Whatever has happened is now a matter of the past. She should now move on. There is no need to talk about all this. What is she achieving by speaking now? Life is all about moving on! This is not adding anything to her life – it’s just subtracting.”
Kangana was successfully launched by the Bhatt camp and after Gangster in 2006 she struck gold again the same year with Mohit Suri (Mahesh Bhatt’s nephew) in Woh Lamhe. Mohit, who went on to work with her in Raaz in 2009, strongly feels that the media should leave the actress alone. “Stop asking her such questions. If you’ll are done listening to all these stories don’t keep interrogating her again,” Mohit said sternly. “When she says no comment, you’ll say she is hiding something; if she speaks up, you’ll say she is craving for attention. Both ways you’ll talk about it,” added the director angrily.
Mohit, who followed Kangana’s controversial interviews on television, observed that the actress is always prodded about Hrithik, which make her speak up. “Judge her if she rants without provocation,” he advised. “I don’t know what happened between them (Hrithik and Kangana), so I can’t judge her,” he stated, adding, “Everyone has the right to talk about their personal life, they have the copyright to their own life, and whoever has been part of it can be mentioned too. You can’t stop her from talking about her personal life. There’s nothing wrong in that. For instance, my uncle Mahesh Bhatt talks about his personal life too and makes films on this, but that’s his choice. The media should not sit in judgment on these issues.”
However, actor R. Madhavan who worked with Kangana in both the Tanu Weds Manu films refused to be drawn into this controversy. “I have nothing to say on this,” Madhavan diplomatically said taking the safe way out.
At the same time, Mubarakan director Anees Bazmee thought it was better to ignore such issues. “I personally think that when something wrong happens one should ignore it and let it go. I can’t comment on what Kangana is doing but I live by this principle,” he said. “It is better to let your work speak. It’s okay to talk about sore issues once or twice, but don’t continue doing so. Time shouldn’t be wasted on people who are badmouthing us.”
Brave, but move on is Bollywood advice to Kangana
Will Kangana listen or continue with her tirade against industry wallahs?
