I can have more than one wedding, says Kangana Ranaut

July 25, 2016

New Delhi, Jul 25: Actress Kangana Ranaut has quipped she is open to walking down the aisle more than once in her life.

Kangana, 29, whose personal life has been in the spotlight since her entry into Bollywood, feels there's nothing wrong in getting married again if things don't work out.

ranautWhile interacting with the media as a showstopper for designer friend Manav Gangwani at the India Couture Week, the actress said, "Manav and I were talking about my wedding. I told him for first wedding for sure, I will wear his design."

When asked if she was certain she would have more than one wedding, Kangana said smilingly, "Why not? If one can happen, many more can happen!"

This was the second time the three-time National Award winner walked for Gangwani, who presented his collection, "Begum-e-Jannat".

Kangana glowed in a golden-burgundy lehenga-choli. The open hair, bright make-up and other accessories enhaced her look.

"My collection is an ode to a dear friend, I lost recently. I narrated the idea and the collection to Kangana and she is all about friendships. So, she agreed. I have been friends with Kangana since she began her career. She is special," Gangwani said.

The designer added he was happy to have Kangana's support on the occasion that marked the debut of his label Manav Gangwani India.

The actress, who has earlier collaborated with high-end brands for western women wear, expressed wish to venture into designing Indian silhouettes.

Meanwhile, Gangwani's collection was an amalgamation of sentiments evoked by the word 'Jannat', meaning paradise.

The palette for the creations featured ivory as pure, blacks, royal navy, emeralds and wine.

Accentuated by the timeless Zardozi handwork in antique vintage gold to add that touch of royalty, every garment seemed to have thoughtfully crafted to induce the fragrance and grandeur of times gone by.

The designer said the collection epitomizes the essence of every woman, which is timeless, romantic, demure, yet elegant with an undertone of drama and mystery.

The outfits for women included kaftaans, sarees, lehengas and angrakhas.

Complimenting the garments were artfully fashioned Dupattas. Gangwani attempted at reinventing the age-old silhouette of the Angrakha, a cross-over open silhouette that is feminine, yet retains its royal demeanor.

The classic sherwani for men was tweaked, inherent with the old world flamboyance yet infused with contemporary styles.

Patna, Jan 22: Actor Kangana Ranaut has expressedher desire to make a movie on Chandragupta, the shepherd-turned-emperor who founded the Maurya dynasty, noting that the film industry has “not done enough justice to our history”.

The national award winner was here to take part in a programme organised by the publishers of a leading Hindi daily where she performed a jig to the tunes of Bhojpuri songs along with actor-turned-politician Ravi Kishan before the duo participated in a question and answer session.  Replying to the questions posed by Kishan, who is also the BJP MP from Gorakhpur, Ranaut on Tuesday said it was her second trip to Bihar.

“The last time, I was here as a child though I have not yet got a chance to explore the state with which I feel a connect as my Yoga teacher has his roots here,” she said.

Ranaut, who won acclaim for portraying Rani Laxmibai, the valiant queen of Jhansi who took on the British during the revolt of 1857 -- in ‘Manikarnika’, when asked if she would like to be associated with a film on any historical figure from Bihar, said, “It would be Chandragupta Maurya. The film industry has not done much justice to our history”.

A self-confessed admirer of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the 32-year-old, who has won three National Awards in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories, replied in the affirmative when asked about reports that she has turned producer and her first venture is based on the theme of Ram temple in Ayodhya.

The Himachal Pradesh-born actress, who has courted controversy for taking on well-entrenched Bollywood “insiders” like Karan Johar and Hrithik Roshan, said she has had a rebellious streak since childhood and shared an anecdote about her breaking her teacher’s stick upon being hit for chatting with a classmate in school.

When Kishan asked why she has gained so much weight, Ranaut replied it was in preparation for her upcoming biopic “Thalaivi”, based on late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.

The actress said her forthcoming release “Panga” is a family drama.

Ranaut said after landing in Patna, she gorged on ‘Litti Chokha’, a local delicacy.

She also regaled the audience by greeting them in Bhojpuri and repeating several commonly used phrases of the dialect after Kishan.

New Delhi, Aug 5: Playback singer S P Balasubrahmanyam on Wednesday confirmed testing positive for COVID-19 with 'mild' symptoms.

The 74-year-old musician shared the information through a video message posted on his official Facebook page.

In the video, the singer detailed about having a little "discomfort" for two days, stating he had chest congestion along with cold and on-off fever, which led him to get tested for the virus.

However, he also mentioned that he could have stayed at home in self-quarantine, as advised, but did not want to put his family in danger, and hence got admitted by his own choice, to recover quickly.

"I am in good hand, I am in good health. Nobody has to worry about this. The fever has subsided, and in two days I'll be discharged and I'll be home. Thanks for the concern," he said in the video message.
