Bollywood
actress
Kangana
Ranaut
says
that
independent
women
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
are
seen
as
vamps.
Kangana
Ranaut
told
IANS
in
an
interview,
"I
have
myself
as
the
priority
always.
I
do
not
subscribe
to
the
theory
that
good
girls
don't
think
about
themselves
and
they
are
all
for
sacrifice.
My
life
is
my
life
and
I
want
to
make
the
most
of
it.''
"I
want
to
utilise
my
potential
and
see
who
I
am.
It's
not
just
about
my
brother,
son,
husband
or
my
mother.
Somewhere,
I
do
not
subscribe
to
the
quintessential
heroine,
who
is
an
ultimate
Indian
woman
who
puts
everyone
before
her
and
she
comes
in
the
end
for
herself," added
the
three-time
National
Award
winner.
"It
was
most
definitely
very
challenging
for
me
to
come
from
a
small
town
which
anyway
is
not
very
tolerant
to
aspirational
women,
especially
ambitious
women.
You
are
seen
as
a
vamp
if
you
are
ambitious,
if
you
want
to
make
your
own
money
or
if
you
don't
want
to
be
dependent.
"Women
who
make
their
choices
and
who
fight
for
their
rights
will
always
be
the
ones
who
will
be
seen
as
rebels," she
said.
But
she
feels
that
"as
long
as
you
don't
think
you
are
doing
something
wrong,
it
is
absolutely
fine".
"I
never
judge
myself
for
my
instincts
and
for
my
fighting
spirit,"
she
said.
Nevertheless,
she
admits
having
a
voice
of
their
own
for
women
is
difficult
even
in
the
21st
century.
"It
is
very
difficult.
These
medieval
social
norms
are
very
convenient
for
them
(some
people),
so
women
and
men
are
going
to
be
hassled
by
these."
"A
modern
woman
is
not
going
to
keep
her
mouth
shut
if
she
is
taken
for
a
ride
or
sexually
harassed
or
if
she
is
not
given
her
salary.
She
is
not
going
to
keep
quiet
and
that's
why
these
conventional
forces,
these
old-school
minds,
these
patriarchal
or
chauvinist
people,
are
going
to
be
bothered
and
hassled."
