I’m Bollywood’s First Legitimate Action Heroine, Claims Kangana Ranaut

Mumbai: Taking a dig at Jaya Bachchan’s ‘thali’ comment, ‘Panga’ actress Kangana Ranaut stated that the film industry may have given her a lot of things, but she too has given Bollywood its first legitimate action heroine.

Kangana took to social media and shared a video in which she is seen undergoing training for her upcoming action films ‘Tejas’ and ‘Dhakaad’.

“I have started action training for my upcoming action films #Tejas and #Dhakaad.. I play a Fauji and a Spy respectively in these films. Bollywood ki thali may have given me a lot but post Manikarnika success I too have given Bollywood its first ever legitimate action heroine,” wrote Kangana along with the video.

On Wednesday, Kangana had shared with her fans that she is losing weight after gaining 20 kgs for J Jayalalithaa’s biopic ‘Thalaivi’.

“I had gained 20kgs for Thalaivi, now that we are very close to completing it, need to go back to my earlier size, agility, metabolism and flexibility. Waking up early and going for a jog/walk… who all are with me ?” the actress posted.

Heaping praise on Kangana for risking her health to entertain audiences, her sister Rangoli wrote, “In TWM Kangana had a bike accident and got 52 stitches in her foot, in Manikarnika her actor accidentally hit her head with a heavy metal sword and she got 15 stitches on her forehead, now she has gained lot of weight and put her health at stake. We salute all the artists who transcend their human limitations only to reach out to us.”
