Simran_PosterShe makes robbing banks look like child’s play and is reckless at a casino, but Kangana Ranaut manages to inject a degree of adorability in Praful Patel, the flawed protagonist in her latest film, Simran. But our adoration would have exponentially increased if there was more consistency in Patel’s checkered personality.

Simran is the tale of a 30-year-old Gujarati woman, a divorcee who lives with her conservative parents in the state of Georgia, going rogue.

Patel, who leads a pretty uneventful life as housekeeper in a fancy hotel, turns into an amateur criminal. The transformation is swift and uneven and therefore, unbelievable. One day she’s looking at buying herself an apartment and is hoping that her home loan would come through and the next she’s swatting off bestial loan sharks who snort cocaine and pummel debtors to the ground.

But Ranaut tries to inject a Bridget Jones appeal (Hollywood romcom’s always-relatable Londoner) into her misadventures. The problem is that dating a wrong guy or not able to shed off those extra kilos aren’t as grave a problem as looting a bank to settle debts gathered after a stupid night of gambling.

Kangana Ranaut on talking about Hrithik Roshan: If I am asked a question, I will answer

kanganaKangana Ranaut is known for giving a solid comeback whenever she is asked about her controversies. At the song launch of Simran today, Kangana was asked why she always talks about Hrithik Roshan and Karan Johar in her interviews.

The actor said, “They still ask me about Aditya Pancholi also. Back then I was 16 and now I am 30. I am not one of those who will manipulate, I will answer every question. if I answer also people have a problem and if I don’t answer then also people have a problem. I am not someone who will go round and round. If you ask me a question, I will give you an answer, I don’t understand what to say or not to say then! The best solution would be not to call me for interviews, so everybody is quiet, and the problem will be solved.”

The Queen star was also asked if she is single and she replied back saying, “I have the answers to everything but this question.” It should be noted that Kangana and Hrithik’s battle was one of the talked-about events of 2016.

From the former referring him as “silly ex” to the latter slapping a legal notice, everything about their case was an open book for the gossip-mongers to talk about. Kangana plays the character of Praful Patel, a housekeeper who gets embroiled in a crime.
