Kangana retaliates to trolls for wearing Rs 600 saree

Kangana Ranaut who was trolled for wearing Rs 600 saree says she is happy that people noticed it.

Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut was called out for being 'fake' by trolls after she wore a saree worth Rs 600. Recently, the actor reacted to the controversy giving out a message to the present generation.

Kangana urged the fashion industry and people to refrain from shaming celebrities for repeating outfits and recycling fabrics.

In a recent media interaction, Kangana said, "I'm happy, people have noticed it. I tell the fashion industry we, as a generation, are over consuming resources. We got to be considerate. Also, the shaming (of people) for repeating outfits and recycling fabrics should be stopped."

The Manikarnika actor also said that people should appreciate the spirit of dressing differently.

"They got to appreciate that spirit. Also, we spent so much on organic stuffs when they come from fancy stores. But we don't really see the people -- farmers and handicraftsmen. They are so poor that they can't afford pesticides and synthetic fabrics and are organic, by default. We don't realise that. We got to appreciate that," she added.

Earlier in the month, Kangana's sister Rangoli Chandel posted the picture of the actor in saree and captioned it as, "On her way to Jaipur today Kangana is wearing Rs 600 sari she picked from Kolkata, she was shocked to know one can get such good organic cotton in this amount and it is heartbreaking to see how hard our people work and how little they earn."

Responding to her tweet, Kangana said, "Just because it's from the roadside (shop) doesn't mean it's not good. When you buy it from a big store, it does make it a different stuff."

The Queen actor also said that she doesn't believe in sticking to big things always saying, "As a women, I don't always have to stuck up to big producers, heroes and directors. I don't believe in this. I feel as a individual I have a standing."

On the work front, Kangana's upcoming films include sports drama 'Panga' and action-thriller Dhaakad.

While Panga will feature Kanga as a national kabaddi player, Dhaakad will see the actor playing a spy in a power-packed action-drama.
