Kangana Ranaut was an unwanted girl child of her parents!

Just a day ago, the world was celebrating the glory of womanhood. While we women tend to take pride on our identity and our contribution, life often unveils stories of struggles and uphill battles of women trying to find their own stand. Surprisingly saddening is the orthodox mindset of even the privileged urban people.

Bollywood’s celebrated actress Kangana Ranaut recently made a heartbreaking confession on how her parents made her feel unwanted every moment, merely because she was a daughter and not a child.

“There was a sense of discomfort while growing up. The fact that I was not seen as how I wanted myself to be seen as. My parents had a baby boy, but he didn’t make it and died within 10 days. He was called Hero and my parents could never emerge out of that loss. When Rangoli was born, her birth was celebrated and she was well looked after. But when I was born, my parents and my mother, especially, couldn’t come to terms with the fact that it was a girl again. I know these details because every time a guest used to drop in, they used to repeat this story as to how I was the unwanted child in the family. It’s very hard to live in an environment where you are constantly reminded that you just happen to be here and you are not supposed to be here. I could never come to terms with that environment,” the actress said.

We wonder how long will women keep paying for their existence, but here’s hoping for a positive change soon!
