During her recent appearance on Raj Shamani’s podcast, Kangana Ranaut opened up about her film choices and why she hasn’t worked with actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Akshay Kumar. The ‘Emergency’ actress said, “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. But I said no to their films because their films are prototypes wherein 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.”

The actress continued, “I wanted to do my best for women who were going to come after me and no Khans can make you successful, no Khans can make you successful, no Kumar can make you successful, no Kapoor can make you successful. I said no to Ranbir Kapoor’s films, I said no to Akshay Kumar’s films. I didn’t want to be the prototype that only a hero can make a heroine successful. Aisa nahi hai, you can be successful on your own as well. I set that example.”

Kangana also added that at the beginning of one’s career, one needs to do whatever good work comes their way. She said, “When you have a say, then you do activism. Don’t do it before that.”
