Actor Kangana Ranaut admits that she has never met late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, but insists she feels connected to him in an abstract way. Ever since Sushant died on June 14, Kangana has been more vocally aggressive in speaking out against nepotism in the film industry. In an interview with a media, she said, “Sushant and I, we never really crossed paths. But we were always really close, you know.”
She added he might have attended one of her birthday parties, but she didn't speak to him. Kangana said she has worked with Rajput's former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande. She also said that her 'Manikarnika' producer Kamal Jain worked with the actor on the 'MS Dhoni' biopic and would tell her that she and him were a lot like each other.
“Every now and then, he used to talk about Sushant. When I was learning horse riding, he used to say that he organised the training for Sushant also. There was some kind of connection, but nothing direct.” Kangana said, “See, I don't want to be standing on some high ground and be like, I always knew Sushant. No, I did not. And to be honest, when I would read these blinds after blinds, news after news that he is a rapist, he is a sex addict, he is doing drugs, he is beating up his directors, I remember thinking vaguely 'What is up with this boy? He needs to get control of his life'.”
