Kangana Ranaut is on cloud nine as the actress not only is having a great time at the box office with her latest release Panga but is also being bestowed by Padma Shri, the fourth-highest civilian honour for her exemplary contribution in her field of work. Along with Kangana, director Karan Johar was also announced as one of the recipients and though there is no love lost between those two, Kangana put aside the animosity and congratulated Karan for the award.
In a recent interview, Kangana said, "I heartily congratulate him. I think he totally deserves this award. As a producer, the kind of films he backs, whether it is Kesari or Good Newwz, are commendable, as is the position he has worked to achieve. Even though his father gave him a head start, he has risen to the top because of his own efforts and merits."
She further added, "I started my journey from a small village in Himachal Pradesh, and for me to be in the same league as these bigwigs we have grown up watching, whether it is Karan’s films or Ekta Kapoor’s serials... We knew these people, growing up. And who has not heard Adnan Sami ji’s songs? For a girl like me, to get a Padma Shri alongside them is a matter of pride."
Kangana, who has received three National Awards, said that the Padma Shri is the most special honour for her. She said, "I have always been honoured as an artiste but this time, I have also been recognised as a citizen and for my awareness towards the country. This is special for me because you know that the industry always points fingers at me (laughs). This is also special for my family, because they feel that I am always targeted in the film industry, slapped with legal cases and involved in fights. My family is extremely happy."
