If there’s one thing Kangana Ranaut is known for, it’s speaking her mind without feeling the need to tiptoe around controversial subjects. Speaking at a recent media event, the Manikarnika actor opened up about the taboo that surrounds sex in India saying that “parents should be happy with children having sex” since it was an “important aspect of everyone’s life”. “When you want sex, just have it. Don't be obsessed,” she explained.

Kangana also said that her parents were shocked when they found out that she was sexually active. She told the audience,

“There was a time when you were told to marry someone, and your emotions were directed towards that person. In history, because of invasions, people’s ideas are still there, that our scriptures don’t allow sex. Parents should be happy with children having sex. Children should have responsible sex. My parents were shocked when they find out I was sexually active. Parents should encourage children to have sex.”
