Kangana Ranaut is presently busy promoting her much-awaited political drama Emergency. The film will see the diva essaying the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
During an interaction, Kangana mentioned her views regarding the Gandhi family and nepotism. While shining light on the privileged background that Indira Gandhi had, she said, "Clearly, Indira Gandhi was a product of nepotism.
But what happens is when I meet certain people, like in our film industry, who I don't like or don't want to be like, still I will play a character with utmost sensibility because being an artiste means not having any colored perception.
The actress added, "I may come from a party that belongs to the people, as the name suggests, but I can still have a very sensitive approach to someone who comes from a privileged background. Indira Gandhi came from one.
She was a three-time Prime Minister and daughter of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. She became the secretary and got all the best ministries, what more privilege can you ask for? Yes, she is privileged, but that does not mean I cannot have a sensible portrayal of her. Kangana Ranaut also spoke of inviting Priyanka Gandhi to Emergency.
She was quoted saying, "I actually met Priyanka Gandhi in the Parliament. And the first thing I told her was, 'You should watch Emergency'. She was very gracious. She said, 'Yeah may be'".
So let's see if they would want to watch the film. I think it's a very sensitive and sensible portrayal of one episode and one personality also. And I have taken great care to portray Mrs Gandhi with great dignity." Emergency is scheduled to be out in theatres on January 17.
