over her portrayal as Rani Padmini in Sanjay
Leela Bhansali's Padmavati. The actress had
been threatened to have her nose cut off for
the bounty of Rs. 5 crore.
Veteran actress Shabana Azmi has started a
petition of Deepika Bachao. An insider
revealed to a leading daily, "Everyone has
been approached. We are awaiting the
signatures of A-listers like Kangana Ranaut,
Katrina Kaif, and two more actresses. Once
they sign, we will be taking the matter
forward.''
However, there were rumours going rife
that Kangana Ranaut refused to sign Azmi's
petition, which came as a shock to many.
Kangana has now come out and cleared
her stand. The very vocal and outspoken
actress made it clear that she has no qualms
with Deepika. Her issue, however, is with
Shabana Azmi who is spearheading this
particular petition.
"I was filming Manikarnika in Jodhpur when
I got a call from dear friend Anushka Sharma
to sign the petition written by Ms. Shabana
Azmi. I explained to her that Deepika
Padukone has all my support but I am a bit
wary of Shabana Azmi's investment in left-
wing Vs right-wing politics. I have my own
set of ideas and opinions about the current
situation in our country. I am on the fence
about many things and being a part of a
feminist movement called
Deepika Bachao led by someone
who character assassinated me when I was
bullied by influential men, seems to be one
of them. Anushka understood but I am glad
they reached out to me like I said Deepika
has all my support I am an individual
perfectly capable of supporting who I like
without anyone's support."
What do you have to say about Kangana's
statement? Let us know in the comments
