She continued her onslaught on modern dating practices and said, “For me it’s a neech (lower) thing to do. I can’t even think of coming in contact with such people.” To which the host replied, “I don’t judge; if someone wants to do it, they can.” Kangana asked him, “Why are you saying this? Because you are afraid of someone trolling you for having that opinion. Would you wish the same for your younger brother or sister? I don’t think any regular person who doesn’t have any issues would like to go on a dating app. People who desire validation and lack confidence go to such places. You find good people in the offices you work with, or the colleges you study at, or in the partners that your parents find for you for arranged marriage.” She said that only losers populate dating apps, and that these people need therapy to sort out their issues, instead of the validation that they’re seeking online. “You wouldn’t find people like me on dating apps. You’ll only find losers there, the people who haven’t achieved anything in their life… If you haven’t been able to meet anyone in office, through your parents and relatives, and you’ve ended up on a dating app, imagine what sort of character you are,” she said.

The host then moved to the idea of live-in relationships and asked Kangana what she thought about this. Kangana explained that she thinks some institutions like marriage are best kept unchanged and that live-in relationships are not good for women, because ‘men are hunters who can impregnate’ any woman and run away. “Marriages are very important in our society, and it is the promise that the man makes to stay loyal to his wife. These days you hear about new ideas such as live-in relationships. Throughout my life, I have been in relationships, and I have seen other people who indulge in such things, but I can assure you that these are not women-friendly things. Who’s going to help you get an abortion? If you get pregnant tomorrow during a live-in relationship, who is going to take care of you?” said Kangana.

When it was pointed out that living together isn’t illegal, Kangana said that most laws are women-friendly because they’re designed to protect them from men. “No matter how much we empower ourselves or educate ourselves with books and surveys, scientifically speaking, men can compartmentalise and women can’t.
