Bollywood actress turned politician Kangana Ranaut answered a question about how directors and actors, on whom she makes public remarks, react once they meet her in person.
Recently, in an interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Ranaut recalled conversations with Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Ranbir Kapoor after rejecting Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Singh Is Bliing, Sultan, and Sanju.
Ranaut said even though she refused to star in the aforementioned movies, ‘They don’t hold any grudge’ against her. Speaking about the same, Ranaut said, “People are very kind to me. People are very kind to me that way. Because I think somewhere they recognise that, ‘Kangana isn’t speaking for her little gain.’ For example, when Salman asked me to do Bajrangi Bhaijaan, I said, ‘Yeh kya role tumne mujhe diya?’ He then called me for Sultan. So, he said, ‘Ab isse zyada kya role chahiye. Heroines ka aisa hi role hota hai.’ Even other heroes… Ranbir himself, came to my house and said, ‘Sanju mein role kar le please.’ I didn’t do it…”
Talking about Akshay Kumar, Ranaut said, “Akshay Kumar, when he did Singh Is Bliing, he called me, ‘Tu na mere saath hi kaam nahi karna chahti hai. Tereko na mujhse koi problem hai.’ I said, ‘Sir, sach mein, mujhe koi problem nahi hai.’ He said, ‘Itni filmein tune mere saath kyun reject kiya?’ I said, ‘Sir, honestly koi problem nahi hai.’ Now, when they meet me, they don’t have any grudges. Salman is so kind, he keeps talking to me.”
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, directed by Kabir Khan, starred Salman, Kareena Kapoor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Harshaali Malhotra. Sultan, a sports-drama directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, featured Salman Khan, Anushka Sharma, Amit Sadh, and Randeep Hooda.
Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Vicky Kaushal, Manisha Koirala, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza, and Jim Sarbh starred in Sanju, which was directed by Rajkumar Hirani. Singh Is Bliing, directed by Prabhu Deva, featured Akshay Kumar, Amy Jackson, Lara Dutta, and Kay Kay Menon.
