“Growing up, I was so sick of politics - it was in the house all the time - I was proud of not reading the newspaper.”

“Kangana has started believing in her own myth. She says she taught feminism to the film industry, she taught it nationalism. I'm glad she spelled that out because nobody else had noticed!
