Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut is known for her bold statements and speaking her heart out in public. The Emergency actor actively shares her views on global trends and issues through social media as well. In the most recent, the Queen actress expressed her thoughts on why relationships in the West fail more often compared to those in India. Using Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s divorce as an example, she explained why she believes Indian marriages are superior, even if they are often ‘mocked’.
Kangana shared a picture of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez on her Instagram stories with the hashtag #SundayGossip. She commented that despite being ‘perfect’, the Hollywood actor-filmmaker and singer couldn’t make their marriage work. She wrote, “Whenever they mock Indian marriages remind them the most intelligent/good looking actor/filmmaker/writer. So called the hottest man on earth Ben Affleck after many children many marriages still looking for that perfect wife. So is Jennifer Lopez. Self made. The richest and one of the greatest pop stars ever. Still looking for that perfect person. These two are so perfect that no one is good enough for them so after many trials and tests children and families fed up every one’s flaws..”
Kangana Ranaut also noted that the couple repeatedly decided to be together and took ‘double vows’, yet ‘ran in the opposite direction to save their lives’. She added, “They are in their fifties and again divorced and still looking. I have been in the West for a significant amount of time and in big cities they are always looking. For that purpose they have various apps also. They are always looking but never find anyone. Whereas in India we get married to strangers in arranged marriages and go for walks holding hands even at 80. Never look up to Western culture. Our culture is distorted a bit by many factors we must get it right and not look West for inspiration.” Her Instagram story has now gone viral.
For unversed, Ben and JLo began dating in 2002 and got engaged but ended their relationship in 2004 without marrying. They reunited in 2021, got engaged again, and tied the knot in 2022.
However, on their first wedding anniversary, 21 August 2024, Lopez filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The divorce was finalised on Friday, 21 February.
