Farah Khan recently commented on the Kangana Ranaut controversy, when asked about it, and now Priyanka Chopra has done the same. Although they both didn’t name the actress, they didn’t shy away from speaking their minds.

During an interview, PC was asked, if like Kangana, she wants to become an autonomous brand, much like the top A-list heroes in the industry, Priyanka said she doesn’t think that way, “I haven’t been to any film school or studied how to be a filmmaker, producer or an actor. Everything I do right now is out of experience of working with the most prolific filmmakers over the years. Boys are doing what they are doing. I would like to do what I do best and rather work with experts in their fields who know what they are doing. I’m not someone who feels, ‘Sab kuch mujhe karna hai, mera naam sab jagah hona chahiye’.”

Later, the interviewer pointed out how Kangana spoke about working with directors who have fragile egos PC reacted saying, “Most of the directors I have worked with are somehow really amazing collaborators. Because I don’t step on toes. If I have to suggest something, and someone finds it sensible, they take it. I am very zen and peaceful like that. I’m not a fighter.”

Citing examples, PC said, “Even the best filmmakers I have worked with — whether it’s Vishal (Bhardwaj) sir, Rakesh Roshan, Sanjay (Bhansali) sir or Anurag Basu, they ask me what I think. I am honest, but not honest with a boxing glove.” Notice how all the directors PC mentioned have had problems with Kangana?
