Would’ve proudly said so had I directed Simran: Kangana Ranaut

TIL Desk Bollywood/ National Award winning actress Kangana Ranaut, who was earlier slammed by writer Apurva Asrani for taking the co-writer credit in Simran, says she didn’t take part in the direction of the film and would have proudly said it openly if she had done it.

Kangana was slammed by Asrani after the poster of Hansal Mehta’s Simran released, showing Kangana’s name as co-writer. Apurva took to Facebook to raise objections to it and slammed the actress for taking undue credit.

In a conversation at the NDTV Youth For Change Conclave here on Monday, Kangana was asked if she had any part to play in the film’s direction.Kangana said: “I have not done anything to do with direction in Simran. I have acted in it and written it. If I had directed the film, I would have proudly said it, but I have not done it.”

Kangana, who comes from a non-filmy background and hails from Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, also spoke about her background.
