Opening up about the challenges faced by nurses, she added that they are often underpaid, overworked and underappreciated despite handling some of the most demanding responsibilities in hospitals. She noted that society often overlooks the contributions of workers who form the backbone of healthcare institutions, including ward boys, watchmen and other support staff

Actress-politician Kangana Ranaut criticised societal perceptions around nursing, saying the profession is often "sexualised" and stereotyped despite nurses being among the most crucial frontline workers in healthcare.

Speaking about her upcoming film 'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata', which is inspired by the extraordinary true story of the brave staff of Mumbai's Cama Hospital during the 26/11 terror attacks, Kangana said the film seeks to change people's perceptions and encourage greater respect for nurses and other frontline hospital workers.

In an exclusive conversation with ANI, Kangana said, "Badlaav hona chahiye logon ke jo bhaav hai unke liye usme badlaav hona chahiye (We want to change people's emotions and perceptions) I think it is the most sexualised profession."
