He debuted in the industry with a musical romance ‘Khamoshi’ (1996) and his recent release ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi‘ (2022) was a huge success in the box office collecting more than 200 crores globally.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘living God’. Here’s why.
Recently in an interaction Kangana praised Sanjay Leela Bhansali and called him a ‘living God’. She took to Instagram to share her experience with the director. She noted down that though over the years she rejected a few of the offers she got from SLB production, they do not share any bad connection with each other. She said that if she ever wanted to visit his house to meet or chat the doors are always open and welcomes everyone with immense warmth.
Kangana even compared Mr. Bhansali with other directors and actors of Bollywood and said that he is much better than others as he is not fake and does not give out fake success stories or glory. She also added that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is the most generous, kind and genuine person she has ever met who is also a part of the Bollywood industry.
She admired his way of working, his unique sense of style and for creating magical cinematic experiences. What she likes the most about him is that he is very calm and poised and keeps to himself everytime and does not interfere with anyone or anything. According to Kangana, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is the most non-controversial person associated with Bollywood.
She also explained why she wasn’t able to participate in the offers she received from his production company. She said that since she was busy and committed to other projects, she had to leave those opportunities. We also know she never agrees on doing any item song and for that matter, Sanjay Leela Bhansali did offer her an item number from his movie ‘Ram Leela’ which she turned down.
In an interview with Pinkvilla in 2020, she said that the director approached her for a song in the movie since he knew her talent and her way of execution however since she doesn’t participate in item numbers and doesn’t support that overall, she rejected it. She even twitted about this on 2021, “I said no to item songs of Sanjay Bhansali and Farah Khan also, which made few A listers over night sensations”

The actor, turned social activist, has been vocal about everything that happened to her throughout her career in the industry and does not fear anyone. From attacking famous director Karan Johar to actor Ranbir Singh, she has been fearless ever since.
