In a podcast with Raj Shamani on YouTube, Kangana Ranaut made some big revelations about her career. Here are our top five highlights:

Exposing Indian Award shows yet again

Kangana Ranaut says she had a tougher journey than Shah Rukh Khan
The Emergency actress drew comparisons of her journey with Shah Rukh Khan’s. However, she claimed her Bollywood struggles were more difficult than the superstar. Kangana Ranaut shared, “His mother was a magistrate. He comes from a family that speaks good English, he came from a convent. From Delhi to Mumbai, it’s not much of a difference. But I came from a village and I’m a girl and I came as a teenager. Meri journey aur bhi difficult hoti hai.”
However, she did note that SRK did not have his parents, so that balances out their struggles.
Bollywood parties are “trauma” for Kangana
Kangana Ranaut also alleged that anyone who thinks creative discussions or intellectual discussions are happening at a Bollywood party, is mistaken. “I’m not Bollywood kind of a person, I can’t be friends with Bollywood people for sure. Bollywood people so just full of themselves. They’re stupid, they are dumb, protein shake…They are like grasshoppers, totally blank. How do you be friends with such people? They have no idea of what’s going on where. They have no conversations,” she added.
She called compared Bollywood parties to dealing with “trauma.”
All Khans are “nice” to Kangana Ranaut
Kangana Ranaut shares a good bond with the Khans of Bollywood – Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan. However, she refuses to work with them or Ranbir Kapoor or Akshay Kumar for a successful career.
She concluded, “I wanted to do my best for women who were going to come after me and no Khans can make you successful, no Khans can make you successful, no Kumar can make you successful, no Kapoor can make you successful. I said no to Ranbir Kapoor’s films, I said no to Akshay Kumar’s films. I didn’t want to be the prototype that only a hero can make a heroine successful. Aisa nahi hai, you can be successful on your own as well. I set that example.”
