Recently, actor-politician Kangana Ranaut, who is awaiting her next film, Emergency, which will be released on September 6 in theatres, spoke on the term “Alpha male” gaining more attention and prominence among audiences.

Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut said that people don’t know it in its entirety yet and simply use it superficially. She highlighted Lord Ram, Lord Krishna, Arjun, Bhishma Pitamah, and Karna are all “Alpha males.” However, she said that people don’t want to study their character or understand how they sacrificed or even their mercy and austerity. She added, “People resort to becoming Alpha males to fool others with their wrong deeds. Such actions might make people enjoy for some time but they will fall face down. When you don’t have understanding of something, you want to exploit that… If you are Alpha male, then why are you being Raavan? Be Ram.”

Exploitation of the term Alpha male.

During an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Kangana said, “In films, too, they are showing fights, hooliganism. They are encouraging and misleading youth. There is a consequence to everything, and they should take onus for it.” And when asked about sexism prevalent in Bollywood, Kangana replied, “of course there is.”

She explained that if a person wants to be an Alpha male, they should respect all women and fight against wrong. Instead, they indulge in misbehavior and harassment of women.
