This time, the Queen star has expressed her opinions regarding feminism. Speaking to the media, Kangana took a subtle dig at Hrithik without mentioning his name, as she explained the ordeal of her legal battles with him.
“This incident is very different from the incident I faced in the past. There were no legal proceedings ever initiated against me. There was a lot of media drama, there were a lot of threats and there was a lot slut-shaming. There was no case filed against me,” she said.
The actor shared that she faced a lot of feminist pressure during that time. “But yes, there were media trials and there was a lot of pressure. There was a certain feminist pressure on me to fight and tell the world the sob story that I had. But, I didn’t have any. I was in a consensual equation with an individual and I felt perfectly capable of dealing with the stuff that was coming my way as an adult.”

Kangana explained that there was a time she pondered over the true meaning of feminism. “I was pressurised to a point where I felt questioning what exactly is feminism. Is it fighting for an individual’s acceptance? Or begging for his acknowledgment publicly? Then I’m not a feminist," she said.

The Tanu Weds Manu star revealed that she is not a feminist saying, "If it is feminism to not allow a prerogative to say no to a man and making it just a prerogative of a woman, then I’m not a feminist. No means no."
"If anybody, any individual wants nothing to do with me and feels ashamed of me, to get rid of me, the only thing I will say to that individual is goodbye," she added.
