New Delhi: Kangana Ranaut on Friday took to social media to talk about gender and sexual preferences. In a series of tweets, the actor said that one should not make their gender or sexual preferences as their identity. She said she doesn't like being referred to as “just a woman” as she never perceived her that way. Her statement comes at a time when the Supreme Court is hearing the petition for the legal sanction of same-sex marriage in India.
Kangana wrote, “What you do in the world is your identity, not what you do in bed. Whatever your sexual preferences are they must remain in your bed only. Don’t make them your identity card or medals and flaunt every where. Most importantly don’t roam around with a knife to cut every throat who don’t agree with your gender. I am again saying your gender is not your identity don’t make it that way. I am a woman from rural area life gave me no concession I had to make my own place in the world of actors, film makers, producers and writers.”
She further added, ““Never ever see people from the lens of gender or any other physical attributes. You know what happened to those who thought Kangana is just a woman. They were in for a big surprise because I am not, I never see/perceive myself or anyone else that way. I am always in a room full of people, individual energies only people not men/women/homo/hetro/ physically strong or weak, no!!!!!! I would have not come this far had I judged everyone around me and myself on so many levels .... Why you all waste so much time on physicality of people around you, please understand you won't go very far if you have such limiting view and perception of the world ....... and those who don't judge others will never judge themselves either .... So free yourself from gender or any other limiting perception.... Rise and shine as who you are and Dharma says you are God absolute divine way beyond the physical... All the best.”
In her last tweet, she told parents that while talking about gender they should tell their children that “physical world exists in many layers.”
On the work front, Kangana recently wrapped the filming of Chandramukhi 2. The film's prequel, released in 2005, starred superstars Rajanikanth and Jyothika Saravanan. In 'Chandramukhi 2', Kangana plays the role of a renowned dancer in the king's court known for her breathtaking beauty.
