Why Kangana has joined social media

Mumbai: It has taken over a decade for Kangana Ranaut to join social media, and the actress opened up on Friday on why she has finally taken the step. She says people have taken advantage of her absence from the platform in the past. Kangana, who tweets from the verified handle named @kanganateam, has shared a video on the microblogging site, where she talks of the power of social media. “It has been almost 15 years since I have been working in films. In these 15 years, there have been many chances when there have been moments of pressure to join social media. Agencies and several brands know that I have let go deals worth crores where there was just one clause that I should be on social media,” Kangana said in the video in Hindi. She added: “I have been called a ‘chudail’ (witch) and it has been said mere pair ulte hain (my feet are twisted). People have taken advantage of the fact that I am not present on social media. But I still did not take to social media as I never felt any distance from my audience. I have always felt that if I had to say anything, why should I do so in a rudimentary way?
