Sadhguru Attends Special Screening of Kangana Ranaut’s *Emergency* in Mumbai
Spiritual leader and renowned global thinker Sadhguru recently attended a special screening of Kangana Ranaut’s film *Emergency* in Mumbai. Reflecting on the film, Sadhguru praised Kangana’s portrayal of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the movie’s depiction of a pivotal period in Indian history.
Sadhguru Commends Kangana’s Performance in *Emergency
Sadhguru expressed his admiration for Kangana’s performance, stating, “Playing popular roles is difficult, and I believe Kangana has done an excellent job in this film. It’s a very complex subject, but it’s presented beautifully. Condensing such a broad topic into a two-and-a-half-hour film is no small feat.”
Kangana Takes a Jab at Deepika Padukone and *Padmaavat
In a recent interview, Kangana Ranaut took a swipe at Deepika Padukone and *Padmaavat*. She revealed, “I was also offered *Padmaavat*. I asked Sanjay Leela Bhansali if I could get the script, but he told me, ‘I never give my scripts.’ Then I asked, ‘What’s the heroine’s role?’ and he replied, ‘The hero is struck by the heroine when he sees her getting ready in a mirror.'”
