Authority asks you for a certain submission, a certain surrender. For that, it’s very important to test the authority. To be honest, I think I am a dominating person by nature, but I am also very devotional. So, if I find somebody who is worthy of the position they are taking, I am the first one to surrender. But, I do test them. They may be powerful for others, I find them truly powerless,"

Kangana Ranaut said : "Gang wars in colleges are so common that when we were in college in Chandigarh, next to our campus there was a boys' hostel. The boys used to fight, chase down other boys and sometimes even murder them openly. The situation is still the same. In the JNU violence, both sides have been injured. These gang wars are carried out by highly volatile people, should this be a national issue really? I don't think so. These gundas (hooligans) are found in every classroom, union, every locality, please don't make it a national issue,"

Kangana Ranaut said ( about Deepika Padukone ) : “I and my entire family thank Deepika Padukone and Meghna Gulzar for making a film on this subject, so that the victims of acid attacks find strength. Chhapaak is also a tight slap on the face of the perpetrators, who might have succeeded in their actions, but not intentions. The face that they managed to harm, this film will make sure the same face shines with pride today. I hope in this new year, the sale of acid is stopped and we become free of acid attacks. I send all my wishes to the team of Chhapaak,”

Kangana Ranaut says ( about Deepika Padukone ) : “Apne aur apne parivar ki khatir meri behen Rangoli ki himmat mujhe har mushkil se panga lene ke liye prerit karti hai. Uski muskurahat hi mujhe har dard se panga lene ki wajah deti hai. Aaj mai aur mera parivar Deepika Padukone aur Meghna Gulzar ko dhanyawad karta hai ki unhone is mudde par film banai. Taki isase joojh rahe un jaanbaaz logo ko himmat mile jo apni zindagi se haar maan baithe hain. Is film se un darindo ke muh par tamacha pada hai. Jo apni harkat me to kamyaab ho gae lekin apne iraado me nahi. Jis chehre ko bigaad kar unhone kisi ki himmat ko tod diya tha, aaj is film se wo har chehra khil udhega. Aur jeet jaegi unki jazbo ki khoobsoorti.Asha karti hu is nav warsh mein tezaab ki bikri par panga ho,taaki ye desh acid attack free ho sake. Aur ant me, team Chhapaak ko meri ore se bahut bahut shubhkaamnaayein (Rangoli’s courage for herself and her family always gives me the courage to fight all odds and her smile is the reason I can take upon everyone and every situation. My entire family thanks Deepika and Meghna Gulzar for making a film on the subject. The courageous people fighting acid attacks will find strength with the film and it is also a tight slap on the face of those who succeeded in their deeds but not intentions - they managed to attack the face but the courage and determination remains steady and strong. I hope the new year will bring a fight against the sale of acid and our country will be free from acid attacks. Finally, I want to wish my best for Chhapaak and the film’s team),”

Kangana Ranaut told : “Deepika called me, and clarified that she had no personal equation with me to make a direct call (to appreciate her performance in Queen). Also, I explained to her how it would have been unjust for me to publicly acknowledge an award from her when I have decided not to attend any awards functions. It was an emotional and heartfelt conversation. I appreciate that she called me; she is truly courteous and very emotional, and I just love that,”

Kangana Ranaut added : “We are still hanging on to pre-Independence era. During that time, going on strikes against people who had captured us and not paying taxes was really cool. Isn’t it democracy if someone has gained power on the basis of what they wrote in the manifesto, and, today, they are fulfilling that? So, you can’t be a sore loser,”

You have to feel like an equal. You should tell yourself that you don't have any shortcomings,"
