Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut took to social media on Sunday to explain what lengths she can go to in order to ‘break free’. Earlier, she had opened up about leaving home at a young age to work as an actor and the consequence it had on her relationship with her family.
Now, highlighting her relationship with her father, Ranaut tweeted, “My father has a licensed rifle and guns, growing up he didn’t scold, he roared. Even my ribs trembled. He was famous for gang wars in his college which gave him a reputation of a gunda (gangster) I fought with him at 15 and left home, becoming the first Baaghi Rajput woman at 15.”
Ranaut, who accuses segments of the film industry to have systemically targeted her, took another potshot. “This chillar (worthless) industry thinks success got to my head and they can fix me, I was always Baaghi (a rebel), it’s only after success that my voice got stronger and today I am one of the most prominent voices in the nation. History is a witness whoever tried to fix me I fixed them instead.”

She then recalled how, contrary to his violent ways, her father wanted her to pursue medicine. “My papa, he wanted to make me the best doctor in the world, he thought he was being a revolutionary papa by giving me education in best institutions. When I refused to go to school he tried to slap me, I held his hand and famously told him ‘if you slap me I will slap you back’.”

Ranaut relayed how that moment became the turning point of her relationship with her father. “That was it! End of our relationship. Something changed in his eyes; he looked at me then my mother and left the room. I knew I had crossed the line and never found him back again but one can only imagine the extent I can go to break free, nothing can keep me caged,” the actor added.
