Kangana Ranaut continues to carve her own path in Bollywood, defying industry norms and global recognition standards. From being an outsider who made her mark with bold roles and item numbers to evolving into a powerful actress, director, and now a political figure, Kangana has consistently challenged the status quo.

With ‘Emergency’ climbing to the top spot on Netflix, discussions surrounding the film and its potential for the Oscars have gained momentum. Among the many accolades, a fan suggested that the film should represent India at the Academy Awards. However, Kangana dismissed the idea, calling the Oscars “silly” and accusing the U.S. of being a global bully that suppresses developing nations. She asserted that India does not need Western validation, emphasizing the prestige of its own National Awards.

Her bold statements sparked debate within the industry. Notably, director Sanjay Gupta, despite his initial reservations, later hailed ‘Emergency’ as a “top-notch and world-class film”, acknowledging Kangana’s prowess in both direction and acting. In response, Kangana urged the film industry to move past its biases, proving once again that she refuses to be confined by stereotypes.

As ‘Emergency’ continues to gain traction on OTT platforms and stir discussions beyond the film industry, it raises a larger question—will more filmmakers follow Kangana’s lead in challenging Western validation, or will global recognition remain Bollywood’s ultimate goal?
