Mumbai: Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut won over netizens after making a heartfelt remark about Deepika Padukone during promotions of her latest film ‘Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata’, which was released on Friday.
Speaking to ABP Live, Kangana reflected on how every generation is defined by its own iconic stars.
Asked why the industry could not produce another Kangana, she drew comparisons with legendary actresses such as Meena Kumari, Madhubala, Hema Malini and Madhuri Dixit, saying that each of these stars is unique and irreplaceable.
Kangana added that there can never be another Deepika Padukone, a statement that has earned widespread appreciation from netizens.
“Humko lagta hai ki actresses aati hain aur jaati hain. Lekin aisa nahi hai. Dusri Meena Kumari nahi milegi, yahan tak ki main soch rahi thi dusri Karisma Kapoor bhi nahi hogi. Voh jo ek waqt hota hai, chahe Hema Malini ji ho, Waheeda Rehman ho yaa Madhubala toh khair ho hi nahi sakti. Har daur ke ek face hote hain jinko aap kabhi replace nahi kar sakte. Madhuri Dixit dusri nahi hogi. Yeh meri hi baat nahi hai. Mujhe lagta hai dusri Deepika Padukone bhi nahi hogi (We often think that actresses come and go. But that isn’t true. There can never be another Meena Kumari. In fact, I was thinking that there can never be another Karisma Kapoor either. Every era has its own icons—whether it’s Hema Malini ji, Waheeda Rehman, or Madhubala, who is simply irreplaceable. Each generation has certain faces that can never be replaced. There will never be another Madhuri Dixit. And I’m not just talking about myself. I feel there will never be another Deepika Padukone either),” Kangana said.
“Ek daur hota, uss daur ko hum represent karte hain. Lekin yeh baat zaroor hai ki Madhuri ji itna kaam kar rahi, kahin na kahin logon ko yeh baat ka abhas late hua lekin ho zaroor raha hai kyunki unka kaam abhi bhi enjoy kara jaa raha hai. Varna aisa hota ki nahi nahi inko hatao nayi actresses ko laao. They are rare happenings woh hona nahi waali dusri baar (Every era has its own identity, and we represent that era. One thing is certain though, Madhuri ji is still doing so much work, and people are gradually beginning to realise this. It is happening because audiences continue to enjoy watching her work even today. Otherwise, people would simply say, ‘No, no, move her aside and bring in new actresses.’ Some artists are rare phenomena; they are not going to happen a second time),” she added.
As the clip went viral, netizens couldn’t stop lauding Kangana for her comments.
One user wrote, “The way she spoke about all her contemporaries and seniors. Pure love!”
Another commented, “I love her clarity of thought.”
One person said, “Her like of thought is so aligned. Shows how much she thinks.”
Another comment read, “I love this mature, secure version of Kangana.”
