Rashami Desai claps back at body shamers
Rashami Desai speaks out against body shaming after facing criticism for her appearance at a pre-wedding gala, highlighting the pressure on celebrities and the importance of self-confidence.
In a recent interaction with Times Now, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut opened up about her perception of stardom in the film industry and her decision to venture into politics. Addressing her recent box office setbacks, Kangana drew parallels with the career trajectory of fellow actor Shah Rukh Khan, emphasizing that even the biggest stars face periods of film failures.
Kangana candidly remarked, “No artist in the world has every film of theirs become a hit, Shah Rukh Khan’s films didn’t perform well for a decade, and then ‘Pathaan’ succeeded. Similarly, I faced a drought of hits for 7-8 years until ‘Queen’ revived my career. Successes like ‘Manikarnika’ followed, and ‘Emergency’ is anticipated to make an impact.”

Reflecting on the changing landscape of the entertainment industry, Ranaut acknowledged the growing prominence of OTT platforms, which provide actors with additional avenues to showcase their talent. She asserted, “We represent the last generation of traditional stars. With OTT, emerging actors are scarce. Our established status and demand have endured, thanks to our recognizability.”
