Speaking at an election rally, Kanagana Ranaut said, "Sara desh hairaan hai, ki wo Kangana, chahe Rajasthan chali jau, chahe mai West Bengal chali jau, chahe mai Delhi chali jau, chahe mai Manipur chali jau, aisa lagta hai ki mano itna pyaar aur itna sammaan… Mein daave se keh sakti hu ke Amitabh Bachchan ji ke baad aaj kisiko industry me milta hai to wo mujhe milta hai. (The whole country is surprised… whether I go to Rajasthan, or I go to West Bengal, or I go to Delhi, or I go to Manipur, it feels like there is so much love and respect. I can confidently say that after Amitabh Bachchan ji, if anyone gets such love and respect in the industry, I get it.)

While Kangana and Amitabh Bachchan have not yet shared the screen space, they both received the National Awards in 2016. Kangana won Best Actress for Tanu Weds Manu Returns while Amitabh won Best Actor for Piku. Big B had even sent a bouquet to the actor to congratulate her.
