Kangana Ranaut compares herself to Lata Mangeshkar: Never danced at weddings for money

On Thursday, Kangana Ranaut paid tribute to the late singer Lata Mangeshkar and her inspiring career. She recently posted a video of Asha Bhonsle talking about her late sister's good reputation as an artist while appearing on the Television show DID Li'l Masters 5. She disclosed that Lata turned down a $1 million offer to be a special guest at a wedding function. Kangana similarly stated that she too declined a substantial sum of money and never performed at weddings or other formal gatherings.

The Tanu Weds Manu actress shared an old viral video of Asha Bhonsle talking about the late Lata Mangeshkar on her Instagram stories. And alongside, she wrote, “Agree! Even I never danced in weddings or private parties, even though I have the most popular songs…denied an insane amount of money…glad to come across this video…Lata ji truly so inspiring.”
