\"KanganaIf there\u2019s one thing Kangana Ranaut is known for, it\u2019s her unfiltered honesty. From calling out nepotism when few in the industry dared to speak, to taking public digs at powerful names, Kangana has never believed in playing safe. On February 27, the actress was in her element. If there\u2019s one thing Kangana Ranaut<\/a> is known for, it\u2019s her unfiltered honesty. From calling out nepotism when few in the industry dared to speak, to taking public digs at powerful names, Kangana has never believed in playing safe. On February 27, the actress was in her element. During an interactive session with News 18, Kangana was asked to react to names like Salman Khan<\/a>, Shah Rukh<\/a> Khan, Aamir Khan, Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra \u2014 and her responses were as sharp as ever. <\/p>\n

Kangana Ranaut Claims Her Journey Was Harder Than SRK\u2019s: ‘I\u2019m From a Village Nobody Heard Of’<\/p>\n

Kangana was asked to pick the best friend among Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir. The question: \u201cAapka acha dost kaun hai?\u201dHer instant reply drew laughter. \u201cYe mere dost kab se bann gaye (laughs).\u201dWhen nudged to at least name the one she liked most, Kangana said, \u201cI think Salman is quite cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s go with Ananya Panday\u201d<\/p>\n

The conversation then shifted to the younger crop of actors \u2014 Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan \u2014 with Kangana being asked who she thought was the better actress.Laughing, she replied, \u201cLet\u2019s go with Ananya Panday.\u201dThe remark is noteworthy given their past. In 2022, during her appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, Kangana had mocked Ananya, referring to her as a \u2018Bolly-bimbo\u2019 and mimicking her ability to touch her nose with her tongue. <\/p>\n

\u201cKam se kam list toh achi banani thi\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps the sharpest moment came when she was asked to choose the better director among Anurag Kashyap, Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra. Instead of picking one, Kangana took a swipe at the very premise.\u201cMeri 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,\u201d she said.Her equation with Karan Johar has been widely discussed since 2017, when she appeared on Koffee with Karan and called him the \u201cflag-bearer of nepotism\u201d and \u201cmovie mafia.\u201d Over the years, she continued to criticise him for allegedly promoting star kids. Currently, however, she doesn\u2019t actively revisit the controversy. On the work front, Kangana is set to reunite with R Madhavan in an untitled psychological thriller, marking their collaboration after the successful Tanu Weds Manu franchise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If there\u2019s one thing Kangana Ranaut is known for, it\u2019s her unfiltered honesty.
