Kangana Ranaut recently raised a social media storm with her recent criticism of Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan. She insists she hasn’t said anything out of line.
“I didn’t think I have taken any ‘panga‘ (messed with) on this matter (with them). I think it’s high time to stop calling out people and to see their expressions or views in an outrageous manner. I have not said anything that is out of the line. It’s my own perception of the situations, and there is nothing outrageous about it. I think every time a girl expresses herself, there are a lot of reactions from her surroundings. I think we just have to take it easy,” said Kangana at a promotional event for her upcoming film “Panga“, which she attended with co-actors Jassie Gill, Richa Chadha and Neena Gupta, besides the film’s director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari.
Earlier, Kangana had criticised Deepika for a promotional video the latter had launched on TikTok, to promote her film “Chhapaak”. Deepika portrays Malti, based on real-life acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, and in the video, she is seen asking a budding make-up artist to don the Malti look. Social media trolled Deepika as being insensitive, for reducing Laxmi’s trauma and pain into a cosmetic look for promotion gig for her film.

On Saif, the actor drew widespread flak while speaking of his new release, the historical drama “Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior”, where he plays the antagonist Udaybhan Sinh Rathore. In a recent interview, Saif had said: “I don’t think this is history. I don’t think there was a concept of India till the British gave it one.”
Kangana retorted saying people were following “smaller narratives” that they had created to suit themselves.
