Known to speak her heart out, actress Kangana Ranaut vented her anger publicly on the Roshans questioning that why Hrithik Roshan's father had to come for his rescue after issues between her and the actor surfaced earlier this year.

Ranaut asked indirectly "why Indian men cannot stand up for themselves and a father is defending his son".

On being asked about Rakesh Roshan's comment that someone is spreading lies against them, the "Queen" actress replied immediately, "No but I want to know why can't Indian men stand up for themselves. He is a 43-year-old son. Why his father has to come for his rescue always?"

"For how long they will keep hiding behind their influential big names of father. He is an adult and he can pretty much handle his own controversies in show business. It is just a simple controversy. Why dadies have to always save their sons, I don't understand this," the actress added further.

Actress Kangana Ranaut was present at an event to launch Chetan Bhagat as new novel "One Indian girl" on Saturday.

Chetan said, "The book has been written completely from a woman's perspective and he interviewed around 100 women for writing it. This book will help men to understand their women better."

Tanu weds Manu actress Kangana Ranaut also expressed her views on the book.

"I have read the book and it's a very human take on a working woman. Its lot more meaningful because its coming from a man. When I read it I was in tears because it sounded like a leaf out of my own book," Kangana added.

She confessed that whenever she got successful, her partner felt jealous and her relationship went wrong.

Chetan also told media how he had become a househusband to be a writer and was looked down by society.

After reading the book's manuscript Kangana said, "I am definitely playing the lead whenever you turn the book into a film."
