Kangana Ranaut on being mistaken as a French: 'Indian woman is not just gajra & bindi'

France has played a small but crucial role in Kangana Ranaut’s career. Other than shining at the Cannes film festival in the last few years, the actor’s film Queen was set in Paris, a movie that gave her one of the biggest successes of her career, her second National Award, and the title ‘Queen’ that has become synonymous with her. However, her connection with France goes further, as the Tanu Weds Manu star claims that people from abroad often assume that she is French.

Kangana Ranaut on people’s perception of Indian women

Kangana Ranaut, who recently joined Twitter officially, shared photos with her friends from abroad on Sunday. She wrote that she likes the city of Paris, and also stated that whenever she travels to America, Europe and Middle East, people assume that she is French. The actor added that they start talking to her in French, and even when she tells them that she is Indian, they think she is a French national based in India.

Kangana, who has been born and brought in Manali, added that it was ‘worse’ for her friends from north-east as they are often assumed to be Chinese.

The actor added that international people must broaden their idea of India, and that Indian women were not just about gajra and bindi. She also added that India was not just about elephants.
