In last couple years, some Bollywood celebs have started to see themselves as gatekeepers of patriotism and nationalism and actress Kangana Ranaut is certainly one of them. Kangana never misses an opportunity to call Bollywood anti nationalist and recently she did it yet again during a public event in Himachal Pradesh.

The actress stated, "The conventional Bollywood always has distanced itself from its roots and always ridiculed our values or a particular section. My fight against this has been ongoing since decade. Whether I have spoken about sexism in item numbers or equal pay parity for all. There is a section who works for making money, while a new segment has emerged out of national awakening that focuses on storytelling related to the downtrodden sections of society. There are films on national unity and integrity or to project our country in a positive way at the global platform."

She added, "A lot of movies showed India in the negative light emphasizing on corruption and jugaad. But hard-working honest Indians have rejected this narrative."

She also seems to think that only she and people who share her ideology are entitled to make patriotic movies as she slammed "Bollywood mafia" for cashing in on nationalism. She said, "Those among Bollywood Mafia who would not stand-up for national anthem have started endorsing nationalism as they are now scared that the brands would disassociate with them. The brands that used to support anti-nationals earlier have understood that people today have gained a new national consciousness. It is a beginning of new age."
