On what actually happened:
This man who was my father's age hit me hard on my head when I was 17. I started bleeding. I took out my sandal and hit his head hard and he started to bleed too.
Kangana has been vocal about the "sick standards" society has towards women, in the past as well. In fact, she was seen discussing the pay disparity among male and female actors in the industry, of late.
