Kangana was asked to do a photoshoot in a robe, without undergarments

Kangana Ranaut

On March 23, on Kangana Ranaut's birthday, the actress had a candid conversation with mid-day hit-list and shared how she was humiliated and taken advantage of as an outsider in the Bollywood industry.

Kangana shared a lot of incidents during the chat, one of them being how Pahlaj Nihalani asked her to work in a soft-porn sort of a movie. The actress said: "The fact that people met and promised to guide, help, but then I was put under house arrest. And then Pahlaj Nihalani had offered me a film called I Love You Boss. They had a photo-shoot where they gave me a robe to wear and no undergarments."

Kangana Ranaut continued: "So I just had a satin robe for a show-girl pose, from which I had to stick my leg out, coming out of darkness. They should at least have given some tapes. I was supposed to play a young girl lusting after her middle-aged boss. So it was a soft-porn sort of character. And I had this epiphany that I can't do this. I felt like this is exactly what my parents were talking about."
