Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut has spoken out about the lack of respect and recognition for nurses, calling the profession 'the most sexualised'.
In an interview ahead of her film Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata's release, Kangana said she hopes the film encourages audiences to rethink how they view the nursing profession.
Nurses, she said, are underpaid, overworked, and overlooked, performing many essential duties that go unnoticed.
Kangana also noted that the dress code of British nurses is still in use, giving nurses a 'foreign look'.
The film, inspired by the true story of Mumbai's Cama Hospital staff during the 26/11 terror attacks, puts nurses, ward boys, and hospital workers at the heart of its story.
Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata highlights the unsung heroes of the 26/11 attacks and is set to release in theatres on June 12, 2026.
