Actor Kangana Ranaut has finally joined micro-blogging website Twitter. Explaining why she has taken to the trend now, she released a video saying the Sushant Singh Rajput case changed her mind. She says, “It has been 15 years since I have been working in films. In these years, there have been many occasions when there have been moments of pressure to join social media. Agencies and several brands know that I have let go deals worth millions where there was just one clause that I should be on social media.”
She went on to say, “I have been called a witch (chudail) and people have taken advantage of the fact that I am not on social media. I chose to stay away from social media as I never felt any distance from my audience. I have always felt that if I had to say anything, why should I do so in a rudimentary way; through films I have talked about women empowerment and nationalism.”
“This year, however, I noticed the power of social media. I have seen how the entire world came together to fight for Sushant and have got success, that has truly made me feel positive about things. I am hopeful that if we all get together, we can raise our voice and initiate reforms,” Kangana said. The actor has been very vocal on a range of subjects lately, especially since the tragic death of Sushant. She has targeted Bollywood hotshots like Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Taapsee Pannu, Swara Bhasker, Aamir Khan and Deepika Padukone.
