Kangana Ranaut highlighted the lack of 'dark, dusky' Indian actresses in the entertainment industry. She shared her views on Instagram about Monalisa, the Mahakumbh girl who has recently gained attention for her looks. Kangana expressed her disappointment over the harassment Monalisa faces for her photos and questioned why there aren't more young actresses in the industry with a dusky complexion.

Kangana's comments

Kangana took to her Instagram Stories to post a picture of Monalisa, saying: “This young girl Monalisa has become an internet sensation thanks to her natural beauty. While I really dislike how people are bothering her for photos and interviews, it makes me wonder—do we still see dark dusky Indian women represented in the glam world? Are people appreciating young actresses like they did with Anu Agarwal, Kajol, Bipasha, Deepika, or Rani Mukerji?”

Are you getting overloaded with laser treatments and glutathione shots?

She continued, “Why do all actresses look so pale, even those who were darker when they were younger? Why don’t people recognize new faces like they do with Monalisa? Is it all the laser treatments and glutathione shots?”

Who is Monalisa in Mahakumbh?

Monalisa Bhonsle, a garland vendor from Indore, caught a lot of eyes with her stunning looks at Mahakumbh 2025. However, after she became an instant celebrity, she faced harassment from men. Her family eventually decided to send her home when the selfie-hunters wouldn't leave her alone.

Kangana's latest projects

Kangana's most recent project was Emergency, a film she directed herself. In it, she took on the role of the late Indira Gandhi, the former Prime Minister, showcasing the last years of her leadership, including the Emergency and Operation Bluestar. The movie hit theaters on January 17 but received a mix of negative and lukewarm reviews, ultimately not doing well at the box office.
