Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is known for speaking her heart out. Her outspoken nature and use of blunt words is something everyone is familiar with.

Kangana Ranaut on item songs
Recently, one of her old interviews has gone viral. In the conversation, the actress is heard talking about vulgarity in item songs. She revealed that she turned down the offer of 6 item songs. The reason behind the same was usage of inappropriate words for describing women.
In a conversation with Aamir Khan on his chat show ‘Satyamev Jayate’ alongside Parineeti Chopra, Kangana said that she keeps herself away from promoting item numbers as she feels they sent out a wrong message to the society.
Slamming Bollywood, Kangana stated that item songs promote casual s*xism. She quoted, “Ladki ko jis tarah se dikhaya jaa raha hai, the kind of words used for her- Tandoori chicken, kabhi uska dupatta pakkad lega, kabhi uska coat muh mai le lega. Hum chahe kitna bhi apne desh ko defend kare, yeh sharamnaak hai jo hum dikha rahe hai. A few years back, mty friend’s kid was doing a dance step and was looking really cute. But I felt, this would affect her mental development. She will think that this is how we will be accepted. Tab mujhe pehli baar bahut zimmedar mehsoos hua. Phir maine step liya, peechle teen – chaar saalon mai maine kam se kam 6 item numbers karne se mna kar diya.”
