Swara Bhaskar and Kangana Ranaut may have played on-screen friends a number of times, but they don’t quite share the same kind of rapport off-screen.
The actresses are often seen at the extreme opposite sides of socio-political debates, with Swara’s views leaning more towards the left and Kangana’s leaning towards the right.
Speaking on her views on the ‘Queen’ actress, Swara – who starred with Ranaut in the ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ series, stated that Kangana being a great actress does not warranty that she’s also a great human being.
Here’s what she was quoted telling IANS:
“We often make this mistake that just because a person is playing a character on screen that is enduring and heroic and because they are great with their craft and are talented, they are the same in real life. No, that does not necessarily mean that they are great human beings in real life. That does not mean that all the heroic quality of an on-screen character is there in the actor, who is performing it.”
She further added:
“There is nothing further from the truth. Acting is a profession like any other. A doctor, an engineer, or a teacher could be great at their jobs, (but that) does not mean they are great human beings, too. I, for instance, was a fan of a particular author because of his writing. When I met him in person, I think he is one of the most obnoxious person I have come across. But he is a great writer. So, your craft is not who you are as an individual. Whether you are a dancer, singer, actor, writer, or photographer, you have to have talent, training, and skill, and you have to know your craft. That may not be the reflection of your personality.”

Interesting.
Wonder how Kangana would respond to this.
