Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut recently raised a social media storm with her recent criticism of Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan. She insisted Thursday that 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,” Kangana said at a promotional event for her upcoming film Panga.

The event was also attended by 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.

Asked if her statements are often misinterpreted, Kangana replied in the affirmative.

“Yes. I have read headlines saying I ‘lashed out’ (at someone) or ‘khari khoti suna di’ (scolded bluntly). If he (Saif) has come up with his point of view then I have also put forth my point of view. I feel that media becomes sensational (in their reportage). I also feel that our country’s readers have that kind of taste too, so what can you do about it? It’s not media’s fault either, because these is a time of click-bait journalism,” Kangana stated.

“I just feel that if you ask me any question and you expect that I shouldn’t answer it, then it is better that you should not ask me questions, because I will not give you diplomatic answers. I am inherently a straightforward person,” added the actor.

Kangana and Saif worked together in Vishal Bhardwaj’s 2017 release, Rangoon. At that time, both were on a cordial terms. While on Deepika, before she criticised her TikTok video, Kangana as well as her sister Rangoli Chandel had appreciated her effort to highlight the travails of an acid attack survivor on screen in Chhapaak. Incidentally, Rangoli is also an acid attack survivor in real life.
