Actor Kangana Ranaut has lauded Deepika Padukone after she brought the performance of the enduring music Naatu Naatu, from SS Rajamouli’s RRR, at the Oscars. Taking to Twitter on Monday morning, Kangana re-shared a tweet wherein Deepika offered the dance.
Kangana wrote, “”How beautiful @deepikapadukone looks, not easy to stand there holding entire nation together, carrying its image, reputation on those delicate shoulders and speaking so graciously and confidently. Deepika stands tall as a testimony to the fact that Indian women are the best (red heart and national flag emojis).”

Kangana’s reward for Deepika comes a few years after she took an oblique dig at the latter. In 2020, Kangana requested her fans to observe her film, Judgemental Hai Kya, on World Mental Health Day. She had also tweeted, “The movie that we made for Mental Health cognizance became dragged to the court with the aid of folks that run despair ki dukan, after media ban, name of the movie became changed simply before the release causing advertising headaches however it’s a perfect movie, do watch it these days.”
Last 12 months, a journalist requested Kangana her opinion on an influencer shaming Deepika for her ‘hemlines and necklines’ during the Gehraiyaan promotions. Kangana responded, “Look, I am right here to guard folks who can’t protect themselves. Alright? She can guard herself. She has the privilege, the platform and I can’t sell her movie right here. Sit down.”
On Monday, Deepika said on the Oscars stage about RRR’s Naatu Naatu,
“An irresistibly catchy chorus, electrifying beats and killer dance moves to match have made this song a global sensation. It plays during a pivotal scene in ‘RRR’, a movie about the friendship between real-life Indian revolutionaries Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. In addition to being sung in Telugu and illustrating the film’s anti-colonialist themes, it’s also a total banger!”
She added, “It’s earned millions of views on Youtube and Tik Tok. Has audiences dancing in movie theatres all around the world and is also the first song ever from Indian production to be nominated for an Oscar. Do you know Naatu? Because if you don’t you’re about to. From the film RRR this is Naatu Naatu.”
