The actress who is contesting Lok Sabha Elections 2024 from Mandi said that being called a soft porn star isn't shameful. Referring to Sunny Leone, a former adult film star, she said, "Is soft porn or porn star an objectionable term? No! It is not an objectionable term. It is a word that is not socially acceptable. Humare desh mein jitna porn star ko respect milta hai, puchiye Sunny Leone se, utna respect poore world mein kisiko nahi mil sakta."

Kangana made this comment during Times Now Summit 2024. " I was asked to comment on Urmila ji (Matondkar) asking on what basis was the BJP considering me for a foray into politics. That was her question. I believe there are different realms of art. Sensational art, the one we refer to as massy art, which only titillates or physically stimulates you, that is also an art form. However, that can never be superior to the art that is intellectually motivating, one which stimulates your mind," she added.

Furthermore, justifying labeling Urmila Matondkar as 'soft porn' star, she said, "I personally believe that I belong to that balanced cinema artiste tribe. I have never done item numbers. So, all I said was that if she could join a party (Congress) with her kind of filmography, then I have a more ravishing body of work."

Comparing porn stars with prostitutes, the Emergency actress said, "Why do we have this kind of mindset for prostitutes whereas we accept porn stars socially? Is it because they have more money? Because they have glamour? We don¡¯t treat prostitutes the same as porn stars."
