 "Kangana Ranaut defends calling Urmila Matondkar ‘soft porn’ actor: ‘Ask Sunny Leone...’")
Actress and politician, Kangana Ranaut has defended her remark of calling actor Urmila Matondkar a ‘soft porn star’ and said that she was “comfortable in that role”. She also shared that terms like ‘porn star’ and ‘soft porn’ were not inherently objectionable.
“If these actresses are comfortable with words such as tandoori murgi, item girl, Sheila ki Jawani, why is it seen as something violating? It is a matter of fact, if they are comfortable with this, why do you want to shame them? I personally do not think I had any intention of shaming her (Urmila Matondkar) because she is very comfortable in that role,” Kangana said when asked about her controversial remark of 2020 .
“I personally believe that I belong to that balanced cinema artiste tribe. I have never done item numbers. So, all I said was that if she could join a party (Congress) with her kind of filmography, then I have a more ravishing body of work,” added the Tejas star.
Citing the example of Sunny Leone, Kangana said that nowhere in the world porn stars get as much respect as in India.
“Are ‘soft porn’ or ‘porn star’ objectionable terms? No. It is just a word that is not acceptable socially. The amount of respect porn stars get in India, just ask Sunny Leone, nowhere else in the world is that the case,” Ranaut further said.
