Kangana Ranaut Opens Up on Bollywood Battles, Dating Drama, and Live-In Love

August 16, 2025

Kangana Ranaut, the fearless actor-politician known for speaking her mind, has stirred the pot once more! In a candid chat with Hauterrfly, she dove into her personal life, Bollywood struggles, and modern dating scenes. She didn’t hold back on controversies around her love life, Bollywood's dark side, and her thoughts on live-in relationships and dating apps.

Responding to Allegations of Dating Married Men

Kangana’s dating history has often caught public attention, especially her links to actor Aditya Pancholi, who was married, and Hrithik Roshan after his divorce. Critics accused her of dating married men with kids. But Kangana says this is unfair. She explained, "When you are young and ambitious, and a married man with kids hits on you, it’s you who are falling for someone in a relationship." She added this blame game mostly targets women, as men get a pass. Kangana compared this to victim-blaming in sexual assault cases, where women are judged unfairly based on what they wear or when they are out.

She also revealed her painful experiences with Pancholi, accusing him of abuse when she was a minor. As reported by India Today, Kangana said she even sought help from his wife and filed an FIR. About Hrithik Roshan, she stands firm on her version, even though Hrithik denies any romance.

Criticism of Dating Apps

When asked if she would join a dating app, Kangana gave a big no! She called these platforms “the gutter of our society.” She thinks people use apps because they seek attention or lack self-confidence. According to her, those who truly succeed in love meet their partners at work, school, or through arranged setups. She boldly said dating apps are filled with “losers” who cannot build real connections.

Thoughts on Live-In Relationships and Marriage

Kangana also shared strong views on live-in relationships, calling them “not women-friendly.” She worried about lack of support if a woman gets pregnant in such setups. For her, marriage is still a sacred social promise of loyalty. She stressed that while laws protect women, live-in relationships carry higher risks due to social attitudes and biological differences between men and women.

Life as an Outsider in Bollywood

Opening up about her early days, Kangana revealed she faced casting couch offers and common exploitation in the film industry. She described Bollywood as “dirty and unkind.” Many male co-stars treated her as less important – arriving late on sets or giving her smaller comforts. But Kangana chose to speak out, even if people called her “full of herself.” She refused to tolerate any disrespect.

With her sharp tongue and fearless stories, Kangana Ranaut once again shows why she is Bollywood’s spicy talker. Love her or hate her, she keeps the conversation sizzling!
