The 92nd Oscars will air in a few hours and Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli compared the actress with Hollywood legend and Godfather actor Marlon Brando. Sharing an article about Brando’s boycott of the Oscars in 1973 in protest of Hollywood’s treatment of Native Americans, she said that the similarities between him and Kangana were too obvious to ignore.
“I can’t pretend not to see many similarities here, Kangana has always been upset about disrespected portrayal of Hindus ( Native Indians) like great talent Brando, Kangana too gained huge respect nation wide,” Rangoli wrote.
In another tweet, she added, “she too used her popularity to ask imp questions, she too refused honours given to her by film awards, Wow!! Getting goosebumps.”
Brando, who had won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1973 for The Godfather, did not attend the ceremony. Native American activist Sacheen Littlefeather attended on his behalf and told the audience that Brando “very regretfully cannot accept this generous award” because of the depiction of Native Americans in films and television series.
Kangana and her sister Rangoli too at several instances revolted against the award concept in Bollywood and how everything is pre-decided and a mere show-off. “There is a lot of manipulation in our award shows. Like they will tell you in advance that you will get this award, but will ask to perform for them. I try to stay away from all this,” she was earlier quoted by IANS as saying.
The three-time National Award-winning actor has also expressed pride in her religion, has built a temple in Himachal Pradesh, where she hails from and even producing a film on Ramjanmabhoomi.
