Kangana Ranaut on saying no to Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Apparently, Kangana turned down the offer as she could not portray women like that. Many know that the said dance number was performed by Priyanka Chopra in the Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone film.

In an interview with NBT, the actor said, "Even Sanjay Leela Bhansali called me for an item number in Ram Leela. Everyone said I was crazy for turning him down. I can’t do it. Whether it’s Bhansali or anyone else, I just can’t. How can you portray women like this?”

The particular segment of the interview clip has gone viral on Reddit. A fan comented on the post,"Sanjay Leeea Bhansali said Aishwarya was offered the song before it went to Priyanka. Priyanka was amazing in the song and it's impossible to imagine Kangana Ranaut doing the same justice to the song.”
