(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) TAKING A SWIPE at her former boyfriend Hrithik Roshan and their controversial legal tussle, Kangana Ranaut on Saturday said she does not understand why people have to approach lawyers to resolve the differences in their relationship.
Kangana and Hrithik have been embroiled in a nasty spat since the former called her Krrish 3 co-star "a silly ex", prompting the 42-year-old star to slap her with a legal notice asking her to apologise and clear the air about their affair which he firmly refutes.
A defiant Kangana, 28, had said she was not a "dim-witted" teenager and refused to apologise. She instead shot off a counter-notice to Hrithik warning him to take back his notice or face a criminal case.
Sharing her view on marriage and relationships during a session at the CII-Young India in New Delhi, Kangana said, "In today's world marriages have different meaning. We don't depend on a man for money or social standing. Women are fairly independent, seeking somebody who can treat them nicely.
"But I still don't understand the whole legality of this process. When it just does not work, why do people have to go to lawyers, that's a bit unfair because everything is changing and you can grow out of a relationship. I am not making laws, so I can't do anything about it and have to follow them," the actress said hinting at her ongoing legal battle with her ex.
When asked if she has faith in the Indian judiciary system, Kangana laughed and said, "I have to believe in the legal system. What can you do when you are slapped with a notice because for all you know they can take you to jail!"
At one time during the chat session, the Queen actress jokingly acknowledged that she has a "knack of choosing wrong people" in her life, evoking laughter and applause from the audience.
'I DON'T WANT TO BE A SUPERSTAR'
She also believes the definition of a superstar is now restricted to "online hits" and the National Award-winning actress says she would rather be known for her work than her histrionics on social media. Ruing sensationalism, one of the prevailing by-products of social media, Kangana said she feels "disheartened" to see online stars being made role models.
"In today's society, a superstar is someone who can excite, enthrall or maybe get people crazy with his or her abilities but our generation with the social media and other platforms, it is really disheartening to see that they don't have nice role models," the 28-year-old actress said.
"One with the highest followers, or having the biggest butt or someone who is good for nothing are superstars today! If today I open an account on social media and do something sensational I will become a superstar overnight. Do I consider myself one? No. Do I want to be a superstar? No, thank you," she added.
The Tanu Weds Manu Returns star urged the young generation to look up to more "real personalities" for inspiration.
"To give credit to what superstars do... everyone is very happy with their little existence, providing themselves luxuries, comfort and it seems this is the only agenda for today's generation. I don't want to have such role models. As a part of this new generation, I would like to make a real contribution. I don't want to be a superstar.
"Superstars don't last, real people do, real heroes last. I want to be a real hero. There have been so many superstars in the past. Who cares about them? I would want to contribute in a real sense, I want to be somebody who lasts even when not around. I want to be someone, who can reach out to people through her work. Being a superstar shouldn't be the priority of your life, being a real person should be," she said.
When asked who is her role model, Kangana said it is her own journey in Bollywood, which inspires and motivates her to give it her best. "I have certain expectations of myself and I try to work towards them."
