“If not me after Big B, who then receives the most amount of love and respect from Hindi films in Bharat? Khans? Kapoors? Who???”

Khans? Kapoors? Who???”
Kangana’s firm stance on her contributions to the film industry and her broad popularity throughout the country has ignited discussions about how artists are recognized in Bollywood. Despite facing backlash, she remains resolute and continues her active participation in campaigning, alongside preparing for her upcoming film ‘Emergency,’ in which she will portray former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
