After claiming to have refused to work in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan, and Sanju, Kangana Ranaut has now claimed she was offered a dance number in Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone’s Ram Leela. Kangana said she turned down the offer as she couldn’t portray a women like that.

In an interview with NBT, the Queen star said, “Even Sanjay Leela Bhansali called me for an item number in Ram Leela. Everyone said I was crazy for turning him down. I can’t do it. Whether it’s Bhansali or anyone else, I just can’t. How can you portray women like this?”

The particular clip from the interview has gone viral on Reddit. A fan commented on the post, “Sanjay Leeea Bhansali said Aishwarya was offered the song before it went to Priyanka. Priyanka was amazing in the song and its impossible to imagine Kangana Ranaut doing the same justice to the song.”
