Kangana Ranaut calls nursing most sexualised profession: Their uniform is very British
Last week, Kangana Ranaut unveiled the trailer of her upcoming film, Manoj Tapadia’s period crime thriller Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, in which she plays a nurse at Cama Hospital, one of the targets during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. The film showcases how valuable the nurses’ contribution was at keeping the hospital operational and the patients safe despite the terror strike. Having played a nurse, Kangana maintains that it’s not an easy profession and is in need of multiple reforms, from the pay structure to even the uniform. “More than their lives, there should be change in what people feel towards them. It’s the most sexualised profession. People dress up as a nurse on Halloween, and crack jokes on them. They’re underpaid, overworked, and sexualised,” said Kangana.“There was a dialogue in our film where two people look at the nurse and say, ‘Time mila toh do-chaar baatein bhi kar lo.’ We couldn’t keep that line due to time constraints. But that’s the reality. We don’t give nurses the respect they deserve. That’s the same case with the watchmen and the cleaning staff. They clean up the patients. That’s such an important task. But they’re only looked at, never registered,” she told ANI. Kangana Ranaut also feels somewhere, the sexualisation has to do with the nurses’ uniform, which still suffers from a colonial hangover.
