Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, who is an Indian political party, Bharatiya Janata Party's candidate, reiterated her comparison to Amitabh Bachchan, questioning, "if not me after Big B, who? Khans? Kapoors?"
At a recent campaign rally, the 37-year-old actress asserted that she had received as much love and respect as Amitabh Bachchan, making her the sole film personality to achieve such recognition.
She said that time, "The whole country is surprised… whether I go to Rajasthan, West Bengal, Delhi or Manipur, it feels like there is so much love and respect. I can confidently say that after Amitabh Bachchan, if anyone gets such love and respect in the industry, it is me."
After her statement garnered widespread attention and criticism, the Queen actress turned to Instagram to reaffirm her position.
In a post featuring a news article about her rally speech, she wrote, “I clearly mentioned Bharat and its various states where I get overwhelming love and reception as an artist for my art as well as my integrity as a nationalist, not just my acting but my work for woman empowerment is widely appreciated."
“I have a question for those who have an objection, if not me after Big B, who gets most amount of love and respect from hindi films in Bharat? Khans? Kapoors? Who??? Can I also know please, I would correct myself,” Kangana added.
