Kangana Ranaut criticises celebrities performing at Ambani bash: ‘Takes strong dignity to say no’

Actor Kangana Ranaut, who was absent from Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding festivities, appeared to criticise industry peers who performed at the event. Kangana mentioned declining all requests to perform at private events, drawing a comparison to late singer Lata Mangeshkar.

Reportedly, the legendary singer, Lata Mangeshkar, declined substantial sums to attend private events, as revealed by her sister, Asha Bhosle. Kangana reposted an article regarding Asha's past remarks made on a reality show. Kangana emphasized their shared experience of turning down lucrative offers, highlighting their numerous hit songs.

‘I have been through worse financial setbacks, but Lata ji and I are only two people who have massive hit songs (Fashion ka Jalwa, Ghani Baawli Ho Gayi, London Thumkda, Sadi Galli, Vijay bhawa etc.) to our credit,’ she wrote.

She continued, ‘But no matter how many temptations I got I never danced in the weddings, many super hit item songs were also offered to me, soon I avoided award shows also. It takes strong character and dignity to say no to fame and money, in the world of short cuts young generation needs to understand only wealth one can acquire is the wealth of integrity.’
