Kangana Ranaut Invites, Priyanka Gandhi Replied

Actress Kangana Ranaut, who is gearing up for her upcoming movie 'Emergency', has shared that she extended an invitation to Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

The film is based on the 21-month period from 1975 to 1977 when former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency across the country by citing internal and external threats to the country. Kangana portrays the role of Indira Gandhi in the film, which is going to be released on January 17.

She said, "I actually met Priyanka Gandhi in the parliament. And the first thing I told her was, 'You should watch the emergency'. She was very gracious. She said, 'Yeah maybe'. So let's see if they would want to watch the film. I think it's a very sensitive and sensible portrayal of one episode and one personality also. And I have taken great care to portray Mrs. Gandhi with great dignity. Because I see when I started to do a lot of research, there was so much focus and so much material about her personal life, whether it was her relationship with her husband or many friends or controversial equations".

Kangana also said that Indira Gandhi was also a very loved leader. "Apart from some very crazy things that happened during the emergency and other few things, I think she was very loved and celebrated. Being a three-time Prime Minister is not a joke. She was loved and celebrated," she said.
