Actor Aishwarya Lekshmi has become the center of online discussion after a clip from one of her earlier interviews resurfaced on social media. In the interview, recorded while promoting Gatta Kusthi 2, the actor spoke warmly about Kangana Ranaut, describing her as a “mad genius” and revealing that she is a “big fan” of the actor-politician.
The clip, originally recorded in June, recently began circulating widely on social media, triggering a wave of mixed reactions from internet users.
What Did Aishwarya Lekshmi Say?
During her conversation with Galatta Plus, Aishwarya was discussing her career and the meaning of building a strong professional profile when she mentioned Kangana Ranaut.
She praised Kangana for developing her public speaking skills over the years and said she admired her speeches in Parliament. Aishwarya also described herself as a fan of Kangana and explained that, in her view, a person’s professional profile is defined by what they contribute rather than the stature of the people they work with.
Her remarks were personal opinions shared during the interview and were not related to any upcoming collaboration between the two actors.
Social Media Reacts
After the interview clip resurfaced, reactions across social media were sharply divided.
