New Delhi:
Just days ahead of Chhapaak’s release, Kangana Ranaut has thanked Deepika Padukone for telling the story of acid attack survivor through her film. The actor said the trailer of Chhapaak reminded her of the struggles that Rangoli underwent and her determination to fight all odds.
Sharing a video message on Instagram, Kangana said, "Maine film Chhapaak ka trailer dekha. Aur mujhe woh trailer dekhne ke baad meri behen Rangoli ke saath huye haadse ki... jo unke saath acid attack huya tha... unki saari yaadein taaza ho gayi (I watched the trailer of Chhapaak and it brought back memories of what happened with my sister Rangoli Chandel)."
"Apne aur apne parivaar ke khatir meri behen Rangoli ki himmat mujhe har mushkil aur halaat se pange lene ki prerit karti hai. Uski muskurahat mujhe har dard se panga lene ki takat deti hai (Rangoli's courage towards her own self and her family, inspires me to battle difficult situations, her smile inspires me to deal with grief),’’ she added.

Rangoli shared the video and tweeted, ''The pain still lingers. Our family thanks team #chhapaak for a story that needs to be told! @deepikapadukone @meghnagulzar @foxstarhindi.''

Recently, Deepika had also appreciated Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film, Panga. In the film, the Queen actress will play a mother and a kabbadi player. I watch a lot of trailers for films with my cast and when I get time, I watch these films as an audience. Panga’s trailer impressed me a lot. Looking at this trailer, which is painted by Kangana Ranaut’s performance, it seems that this film will also be very good,” Deepika had said.
Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Panga will hit the screens on 24 January, 2020.
