Kangana Ranaut, currently busy with the promotions of her film 'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata', recently addressed the ongoing buzz around actor Ranveer Singh being targeted in the industry. While the actress initially avoided answering the question directly, she eventually opened up about what she believes is the real reason behind it, linking it to his recent film 'Dhurandhar'. Let's take a look at what she has to say.
Kangana Ranaut on Ranveer Singh Being Targeted
During an interview with News18, Kangana Ranaut was asked why Ranveer Singh has "suddenly become a target" in the industry. To this, she responded, "Yeh aap unsey puchiye na, mujhe kya pata (You should ask him that. How would I know)?"
When the host pointed out that Kangana herself has faced similar targeting in the past and asked for her views on the actor, she chose to elaborate further.
The actress said, "Me yehi kehna chahti hu…ke, ek toh industry joh hai…you know a bit of…inme hai thoda Pakistan prem hai. Adhiktar filmein toh hume Pakistan prem hi sikhate hain na… Abhi tak sikhati aayi hain (What I want to say is that the industry has, you know, a bit of... There is some love for Pakistan among many people here. Most films have, in a way, taught us to sympathise with or admire Pakistan. That's what they have been doing for years)."
When the host brought up that Ranveer Singh's film 'Dhurandhar' had released recently, Kangana agreed and explained her point further.
She said, "Haan, wohi toh…jab ek aisi film aati hai, jo hume Pakistan ka asli chehra dikhati hai… toh inko fir dard hota hai ki humne jo aajtak kiya uska kya value (Yes, exactly. That's the point. When a film comes along that shows Pakistan's real face, then some people feel uncomfortable. They start wondering what value remains in everything they have been doing and promoting all these years)."
