During a recent election rally, Kangana was seen making this statement comparing herself with Bachchan. In the videos from the rally, Ranaut can be heard saying, "Sara desh hairaan hai, ki wo Kangana, chahe Rajasthan chali jau, chahe mai West Bengal chali jau, chahe mai Delhi chali jau, chahe mai Manipur chali jau, aisa lagta hai ki mano itna pyaar aur itna sammaan… Mein daave se keh sakti hu ke Amitabh Bachchan ji ke baad aaj kisiko industry me milta hai to wo mujhe milta hai. (The whole country is surprised… whether I go to Rajasthan, or I go to West Bengal, or I go to Delhi, or I go to Manipur, it feels like there is so much love and respect. I can confidently say that after Amitabh Bachchan ji, if anyone gets such love and respect in the industry, I get it.)"
Kangana Ranaut and Amitabh Bachchan have never shared screen space until today. The latter has praised Ranaut's performance and sent her handwritten note of appreciation and bouquets for her performance in 'Queen' and 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns'.
