Kangana Ranaut Questions Lack Of 'Dark Dusky' Representation Like Deepika, Bipasha: 'Why All Actress Look Pale, Too Much Glutathione'

Actress-politician Kangana Ranaut, last seen in Emergency, praised the beauty of Monalisa Bhonsle, a 16-year-old garland seller from Indore, who gained widespread attention during the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025. The actress further questioned the lack of 'dark dusky Indian' tone female representation in the glamour world, mentioning Deepika Padukone, Kajol, Bipasha Basu, and others.

Taking to her Instagram story, Kangana shared Monalisa's photo and wrote, "Monalisa has become an internet sensation for her natural beauty, as much as I hate people harassing her for pictures and interviews I can't help but think do we have dark dusky Indian tone female representation in glamour world anymore? Are people loving young actresses how they loved Anu Agarwal Kajol, Bipasha Deepika or Rani Mukherjee?"

Kangana asked why actresses these days look as pale as white women, despite being darker in their earlier days. "Why all actress look as palle as a white woman including those who were dark in younger days? Why people don't identify with newcomers the way they identify with monalisa. Too much laser and glutathione," she added.

On the work front, Kangana was last seen in Emergency, where she played the former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi. The cast also included Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhry and Vishak Nair in pivotal roles.

The film was released on January 17, 2025, after multiple delays and was directed and co-produced by Kangana Ranaut.

Kangana will be seen next in a psychological thriller co-starring R Madhavan and directed by AL Vijay.
