National Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut, who raked up the nepotism debate last year, on Saturday said outsiders in the film industry should not lose heart if they face discrimination.
“It is ‘okay’ to be discriminated against if you are an outsider because there are things that one does to know as an outsider newcomer. People are not responsible for you (the newcomer), you have to be persistent, observant to know things. Today I am talking about it because I made it to this level. I learnt,” said Kangana Ranaut at a session of News18’s Rising India Summit.
“I put my observation out there and understand this is how it functions. In the beginning, everyone is treated in the same way; don’t think it is happening to you only. Do not think the world is like this to me, the world is the way it is; it is not fair to anyone. You have got to make sure that you work around it,” she said.

Citing an example of her early days, Kangana said, “I did not understand the difference between shot and scenes, so if someone says you have two scenes now, I used to think, my work will get over in 30 minutes.”
