Kangana Ranaut, the actress and Member of Parliament from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has publicly supported the Women's Reservation Bill, which aims to reserve a certain percentage of seats for women in legislative bodies. During her speech in Parliament, she referenced a popular dialogue from the Bollywood film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, equating the government's efforts to empower women with breaking societal barriers. Ranaut praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asserting that he has achieved significant advancements for women in just ten years, such as providing housing and gas cylinders, and including women in defense forces. She criticized Congress leader Sonia Gandhi for questioning the urgency of the bill, implying that the Congress party has delayed women's empowerment for decades. The Women's Reservation Bill has been under discussion since 1996, making its potential passage a historic moment for women's rights in India, as echoed by other Bollywood celebrities who view it as a civilizational movement.
