In industry, people you're close to want to control you: Kangana Ranaut

Mumbai: It’s not unfair to call Kangana Ranaut a self-made woman. The actress, who has always held her ground and has never hesitated to speak her mind, is undoubtedly one of the best actors in the Indian film industry. Kangana has numerous hit films to back that statement up.

While in the industry, we mostly know all about our actor’s budding friendships and relationships, Kangana’s have always been quite secretive in nature. When her alleged relationship with Hrithik Roshan came out, the private affair turned into a public circus.

Kangana, who will be next seen in Vishal Bharadwaj’s ‘Rangoon’, spoke about how finding real friendship doesn’t come easy to her in the industry. “I can only speak for myself. People can have great friendships. Why generalise things? However, in my case, I don’t find it easy or even possible, because in our environment, people you are close to, or the ones who love you, want to hold on to you and control you. The ones, who don’t do that, are envious. So, your environment can be extremely confusing in the industry, which leads to a lot of personal and professional conflict.,” the actress told HT.

Moving forward, Kangana also said that she would never suggest anybody to make friends in the industry as it would create huddles in the professional front. She added, “As for the profession, you will not be hired again, if you aren’t good at your job. So, even if it’s easy to make friends in the industry, I wouldn’t suggest it to anybody, who is trying to pursue a career in films. Pleasing people will not get them anywhere. In short term, it might work, but eventually, it won’t.”
