Kangana Ranaut on Mimicry Artists
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama in August 2024, Kangana addressed the topic of mimicry, mentioning that she often sees people imitating her and is not offended by it.
Main apni mimicry dekhti hoon. Kitne log mujhe mimic karte hain. Main to bohot zyada popular hoon mimicry ki duniya me. Bohot mere mimicry artist hain. Aisa nahi hai ki hum dekhte hain aur hum offend ho jaate hain.”
She expressed admiration for those who sincerely capture her mannerisms, stating:
“Jab koi bohot dil se kisi ne mimic kiya ho, mujhe bareeki se pees ke pi liya ho, uspe hum prabhavit aur mohit ho jaate hain. Kyuki wo bhav aap tak pahuch jaata hai. Main kabhi second guess nahi karti ki ye mere baare me kya sochega, wo kya sochega. Maine ye film apne nazariye se banayi hai aur dekhte hain iska kya parinaam hoga.”
