Kangna Ranaut on Indian censor board blurring bra scene

Kangna Ranaut is the latest celebrity to give her opinion on censor issues revolving around ‘Udta Punjab’.

The film, which has been ordered 89 cuts including a change in its title by removing ‘Punjab’, is unlikely to release next week. The matter currently lies with the Mumbai High Court, who are expected to announce its verdict imminently.

Talking about the issue, Ranaut told PinkVilla, “We all have been concerned with the way things are going. I am not a director and have never been through that process but my friends seem extremely disturbed with the way things are. In fact, they feel bullied. They know there is a process of certification. But the thing is, we don’t need to have that parental attitude towards audiences that we have to protect them.”

She added, “This reminds me of a particular incident in my movie Queen. There is a scene where my bra is on the bed…One day my director called me and said that censor board asked to blur it. We had put a lot of work on that bra. It was flown abroad all the way from Lajpath Nagar. So, we were shocked. Why do we see it as a danger to society? A woman’s bra is not a danger to society!”
