Kangana Ranaut calls Bollywood ‘fake’ and 'glossy'

The Emergency actor was quizzed if she would quit Bollywood if she wins the elections from Mandi constituency. She replied, “Yes.” Kangana further opined, “The film world is a lie, everything there is fake. They create a very different environment. It is a glossy world like a fake bubble which is to attract the audience. This is the reality. I am a very passionate person. I never wanted to do a job because I had to. Even in films I start writing, and when I get bored of playing a role, I direct or produce, so I have a very fertile mind and I want to be passionately engaged.”
