Bollywood: Actor and politician Kangana Ranaut, who is the Lok Sabha MP from Uttarakhand's Mandi, blasted recently that she wanted to remain the only A-list actors who never worked with the Khans: Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Amir Khan. She said that as a female artist, she wanted to break the trend of all mainstream female actors working with the Khan trio.
Most of those in the industry dream of working with the Khans, according to Bollywood Hungama.
Kangana said in an interview with a podcast that Khans are very kind, well-behaved and generous, which she appreciates, but she does not wish to be their leading lady, Bollywood Hungama reported.
"I refused Khan-led films. All Khans are very nice to me, they are very kind to me, and they have never misbehaved with me. Yes, there are people who have misbehaved with me, but Khans were not one of them," Bollywood Hungama quoted her.
But claimed that Khan's films are prototypes where the heroine will have two scenes and one song.
"So I said I don't want to do that. I want to be an example of a woman who is an A-lister, the top-most actor who has not worked with Khans," Kangana said.
She continued that she wanted to be that actress who made it to the top without the help of the Khan trio. She said she wanted to prove to women that no Khans, Kumars or Kapoors can make them successful. She said that she didn't want to be the prototype that only a hero can make a heroine successful.
"You can be successful on your own as well. I set that example," she said.
