Kangana Ranaut supports ban on Pakistani artists in India

In an interview making rounds on the social media, Bollywood’s ‘Queen’ actor Kangana Ranaut has touched upon the subject of the ban on Pakistani artists in India, which may not be the most exhilarating news for her fans across the border.

During an interview at the News18’s ‘Rising India Summit’, the 30-year-old actor presented views justifying the ban imposed on Pakistani artists that forbids them from working in India.

Distinguishing between the artistic and physical worlds, Kangana has stated: “Artistic realm is different from physical realm. When you are talking about physical boundaries and you are talking about borders, why be esoteric. You should know about a place where people are losing lives.”

The ‘Rangoon’ actor defended her perspective by stating that she’s a nationalist and the Pakistani artists coming in to the country are not paying taxes to India which is instead paid by the Indian soldiers fighting on the border.

“I said in some interviews that I am a nationalist. People said ‘oh you are that type of a person’. I was like ‘what do you mean by that kind?’ I personally feel that there is confusion between these words,” she stated.

She further added that “I meet people and it has become a cool thing to say bad things about your country. I hear the youths always complaining and whining that ‘the country does not have infrastructure and it is so dirty’… This attitude is not okay. If the country is dirty, then are you the guest?”
