Kangana Ranaut's Unfiltered Honesty Takes Center Stage in Candid Bollywood Interview
Known for her bold and unfiltered honesty, Kangana Ranaut has consistently challenged industry norms, from calling out nepotism to publicly criticizing powerful figures. On February 27, during an interactive session with News 18, the actress once again showcased her trademark candor, responding to questions about top Bollywood personalities with sharp and humorous remarks.
Kangana's Witty Take on Bollywood's Khans
When asked to pick the best friend among Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan, Kangana's instant reply drew laughter. She quipped, "Ye mere dost kab se bann gaye (laughs)." Pressed to name the one she liked most, she said, "I think Salman is quite cool." This lighthearted moment highlighted her playful yet direct approach to industry relationships.
Surprising Choice Among Younger Actors
The conversation shifted to younger actors Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor, and Sara Ali Khan, with Kangana asked who she thought was the better actress. Laughing, she replied, "Let's go with Ananya Panday." This remark is particularly noteworthy given their past friction. In 2022, on The Kapil Sharma Show, Kangana had mocked Ananya, referring to her as a 'Bolly-bimbo' and mimicking her ability to touch her nose with her tongue, making this recent comment a surprising shift in tone.
Sharp Critique of Bollywood Directors
Perhaps the most pointed moment came when Kangana was asked to choose the better director among Anurag Kashyap, Karan Johar, and Aditya Chopra. Instead of selecting one, she took a swipe at the question itself, stating, "Meri jo filmmaking aur acting ke liye jo liking hai, mere standards itne low nahi jitne aapke hai. Kam se kam list toh achi banani thi." This reflects her ongoing critique of industry standards, especially her well-documented feud with Karan Johar, whom she labeled the "flag-bearer of nepotism" and "movie mafia" in 2017.
Kangana's Current Stance and Upcoming Projects
While Kangana has historically been vocal about nepotism and industry politics, she currently does not actively revisit these controversies. On the work front, she is set to reunite with R Madhavan in an untitled psychological thriller, marking their collaboration after the successful Tanu Weds Manu franchise. This project signals her continued focus on challenging roles and cinematic ventures.
Kangana Ranaut's interview underscores her reputation as a fearless voice in Bollywood, unafraid to speak her mind and challenge established norms. Her comments not only entertain but also provoke thought about industry dynamics and personal integrity in the entertainment world.
