Actor Kangana Ranaut is known for not mincing her words. Time and again, she has expressed strong opinions on Bollywood and its ways. However, on Sunday, she wrote about the equation between a star and their fans. She wrote about how fascinated fans get when they notice their favourite star in public and think of it as a “miracle”.

Taking to Instagram, Kangana wrote, “The best thing about being an actor is whenever people see you at the airport, in the lounge, in the aircraft, or even in a shop, restaurant, simply strolling around in the streets, their face lights up with a big unexpected smile as if a small miracle has happened. As if a good omen has been bestowed upon them as if the glamorous world of celluloid has collided with their mundane life leaving a haze of stardust.”

Further, she wrote, “They often smile with twinkling eyes, sometimes even cry, at times fumble with their words or shake with their attempts at selfies. Suddenly you too feel the sparkle of your presence through their eyes and wonder what exactly happening and what is the most appropriate way to be. It’s impossible to be in control of that which isn’t even there. The myth of a cinema star is the sweetest lie ever, I wonder and wonder at this silly business of smiles and tears.”
