Kangana Ranaut said : “I personally feel that this is the time for us to delve and go beyond our ‘roti, kapda, makaan ‘ needs, and see what we lack as a society and how we can revive that. For me, a temple isn’t about pillars, bricks or just a structure. It’s a symbol of something that our civilization considered the highest. Ram is not a God, he’s Purushottam – an elevated man. He’s no more but his qualities continue to live. The temple is a symbol of those qualities,”

Kangana Ranaut explained : “In my film, there are several real Muslim characters who have fought in favour of the Ram temple. So it’s a story of devotion, faith, and above all, unity in the country. Ram Rajya is beyond religion and that’s what Aparajita Ayodhya will be about. It’s a very tough screenplay as it travels across 600 years and the bhumi pujan will very much be a part of my film. Vijayendra sir has put it together in a beautiful way. It could have been a logo launch for us today because it was a perfect day. Nevertheless, we have high hopes that we will be able to go on floors very soon. I can’t wait to narrate the film to my actors,”

In the midst of this adversity, now they are messing with our borders in Ladakh and they don't only want Ladakh. In the scheme of things, they want Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. They also want your Assam and it's never ending," "You can see the greed of these people and of course even the world is astonished by their ways of life. I don't agree with their ways and obviously they've shown their real crude faces to the world. Also with this pandemic and the bio-war that they've unleashed on the world. What is feeding them is their economy. So it is definitely better we cut their roots here in India and of course when there will not be so much revenue and money, their evil power will come down and the world will be a better place,"

Kangana Ranaut said : “The kind of background I come from, my father is a businessman, my mother is a teacher, my grandfather is an IAS officer and my great-grandfather is a freedom fighter When I was giving my pre-medical entrance test, I had a particular quota for me because I come from this particular family. When I come here, how I look at star children is that they have 30% quota, how I had. I am just trying to come into their territory. If somebody else tried to give the pre-medical test, they wouldn’t get that percentage of quota. This is how I look at it,”

Kangana Ranaut said : "The government has banned Chinese apps and I think most people are celebrating because China is like we all know, it's a communist country and the way they have gone deep into our economy and our system... the data is scary, how much our business was dependent on China and this year apart from being the originator of coronavirus and giving the world the biggest adversity of recent times. In the midst of this adversity, now they are messing with our borders in Ladakh and they don't only want Ladakh. In the scheme of things, they want Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. They also want your Assam and it's never ending," "You can see the greed of these people and of course even the world is astonished by their ways of life. I don't agree with their ways and obviously they've shown their real crude faces to the world. Also with this pandemic and the bio-war that they've unleashed on the world. What is feeding them is their economy. So it is definitely better we cut their roots here in India and of course when there will not be so much revenue and money, their evil power will come down and the world will be a better place,"

Of course Chinese give you everything 'sasta' and cheap products. We should not go by that. We saw the aftermath of that 'sasta' and cheap. We need to encourage our people and I think this is the right time,"
