Kangana Ranaut, the prominent Bollywood actress, recently revealed that she faced severe consequences for speaking out against anti-nationals in India. In an interview, she admitted that she lost around 20-25 brand endorsements and Rs 30-40 crore per year due to her outspokenness.
The actress has been a fierce critic of anti-national elements in the country and has been vocal about her views on social media and other platforms. While her activism has won her many fans, there are also those who have been critical of her for her stance. Kangana Ranaut said that her stand has not only stoked controversies and invited criticism but that it has also hurt her financially.
Speaking about the loss of her brand endorsements and potential earnings, Kangana Ranaut said that many brands dropped her after she took a stand. There were also brands that were apprehensive about hiring her in the future, given her reputation as a vocal anti-nationalist. She said, “Many brands dropped me. They told me clearly that they won’t be able to work with me. Some were cautious and hesitant, even if they contacted me, knowing the present political climate, and avoided collaborating with me.”
According to Kangana, apart from her films, brand endorsements have been a major source of revenue for her in recent years. She said, “I have been a top performer in the film industry, but that alone doesn’t ensure economic stability. I am aware that my enemies will take advantage of my financial stability and my turbulent relationships in the industry to slander and scandalize me. They have not only threatened me but also tempted those who collaborate or support me professionally.”
The actress went on to say that the impact of her loss has been quite significant and has forced her to rethink her priorities. She said, “I have lost more than 20-25 brand endorsements, worth Rs 30-40 crore per year because of my statements against the government. I had to let go of many of my hard-earned projects as well, but all of that is a small price to pay for the love that my country has given me.”
Kangana Ranaut’s open rebellion against anti-national elements in India has won her admirers across the country, but it has also come at a considerable cost to her personally and professionally. However, despite facing backlash and economic damage, the actress has remained steadfast in her stance and continues to speak out for what she believes in.
It remains to be seen how Kangana’s loss of brand endorsements will impact her income and career in the long run. Nonetheless, her situation underscores the increasing political and social polarization taking place in India and raises questions about the nexus between politics and celebrity in the country’s entertainment industry.
