Throwback: When Deepika Padukone took a dig at Kangana Ranaut for doing films for money

Bollywood actresses Deepika Padukone and Kangana Ranaut have come a long way in showbiz. Despite both being complete outsiders in the film industry, the ‘Queen’ actress’s journey has been a tougher one. Now an old video of the duo has gone viral on social media platforms.

In the viral video, they were asked about signing films for money. While the ‘Queen’ actress confessed doing the same, Deepika indirectly took a dig at her.

Deepika and Kangana were asked, ‘Have you signed a movie, just for the money?’ While Deepika said ‘never’, the ‘Queen’ actress candidly responds, ‘Yes, I have, just for the money.”

Kangana then explained, “The thing is in my career, the way my graph has been, you’d notice that sometimes there have been good films, and some films are just not good according to others. I have given into situations like that where I had to take a call if I want to dance in a wedding or I want to do a film. I have crowd phobia, I have stage fear. So, I prefer to do a film which might not be a great performance or maybe something I wouldn’t want to be in. But I find it much easier to do it. For me, that’s how it’s been, and I’m okay with it.”

The ‘Pathaan’ actress then interrupted and added, “I just feel that in the end of the day, films are what make you the person that you are. The choice of films, how those films do, whether we like it or not, it is the success or the failure of the film that makes you who you are. There are other avenues of making money, you know. Do your award shows, do your appearances but your films really dictate your career. I don’t think, I’d choose a film that’s just paying me good money. I don’t think one should risk your choice of the film unless she said that she’s not comfortable doing anything else apart from films that’s different.”

Meanwhile, on the professional front, Deepika will next be seen in Fighter alongside Hrithik Roshan and Anil Kapoor. Apart from this, she has Project K in her kitty. On the other hand, Kangana will next be seen in Tejas and Emergency.
