Kangana Ranaut is stirring conversations with her spirited campaign in the
Mandi Lok Sabha
seat of Himachal Pradesh. Her recent remarks during a speech have sparked viral discussions on social media platforms after she compared her influence and status in the
film industry
to that of megastar
Amitabh Bachchan
.
A short video clip from her speech is circulating online, where Kangana can be heard saying, “Sara desh hairaan hai, ke wo Kangana, chahe Rajasthan chali jau, chahe mai West Bengal chali jau, chahe mai Delhi chali jau, chahe mai Manipur chali jau, aisa lagta hai ki mano itna pyaar aur itna sammaan, mai dave se keh sakti hu ke
Amitabh Bachchan ji
ke baad aaj kisko industry me milta hai to wo mujhe milta hai.” (The whole country is surprised that whether I go to Rajasthan, whether I go to West Bengal, whether I go to Delhi, whether I go to Manipur, it feels like there is so much love and respect, I can confidently say that after
Amitabh
Bachchan ji, who gets such love and respect in the industry, I get it.)
Randeep Hooda: ‘I stood up for Alia Bhatt genuinely because she was unfairly targeted by Kangana Ranaut’
A couple of weeks ago, Kangana had clarified that her decision to enter into politics was not driven by the poor box office performance of her recent films.
She stated that fluctuations in film success are common globally, citing examples such as Shah Rukh Khan‘s career graph and her own experiences with films like
Queen
and Manikarnika.
She further added that because of OTT, actors are now getting more opportunities to showcase their talent. She then went on to call herself and Shah Rukh Khan ‘the last generation of stars’, stating that stars are not being made on OTT platforms right now.
On the Bollywood front, Kangana will soon be seen in Emergency, wherein she plays the role of former Prime Minister of India, late
Indira Gandhi
.
