Kangana’s New Restaurant
Kangana described her new venture as not just a business, but also a personal gift. She explained, “It (the restaurant) is also a form of engagement for me. I’m a writer, I enjoy filmmaking, I’m an actress — this is another way for me to express myself. Life is about engaging with each other, and this is my way of doing that.”
Kangana Embraces Her ‘Stupid’ Principles
She added, “I’m not someone who buys stocks or has rental income. I don’t like that. For me, it’s about connecting with people. The principles I live by are a bit foolish, but that’s just who I am. I’m happy staying this way, staying ‘stupid’.”
Kangana’s Longtime Dream to Open a Cafe
Kangana had previously mentioned her dream of opening a cafe in an old interview from 2013. In a roundtable discussion, she told Deepika Padukone and others that she hoped to have a restaurant one day. “I’ve traveled the world and collected amazing recipes. I’d love to run a cozy little cafeteria somewhere because I’m great with food,” Kangana had said. Deepika, in response, jokingly promised to be her first customer.
Recently, Kangana shared this video on Instagram and tagged Deepika, writing, “If walking the talk had a face, ha ha, it would be me… also @deepikapadukone, you should be my first client.”
