Kangana even spoke about how she had appeared on Aamir Khan’s show 10 years ago, and mentioned highlighting rape culture and item songs in Bollywood,” Same sexist cinema, promoting women violence, is doing better than ever. And, about this Kerala report, I have been talking about it for so long, but where did it go? It went nowhere”.
Kangana even expressed her disappointment with another woman promoting item songs in the film, “I am disappointed in women who do not promote other women’s work. There are women who ask me why I am fighting. ment with another woman promoting item songs in the film”.
