She also wrote that she wouldn’t get married secretly, “I am filming in and around the city every single day, some one clicked this random picture with character make up and now I am getting so many phone calls, but what is the big deal about the married woman look? Actors play all kinds of roles, I won’t marry secretly I promise.”
In another post, Kangana revealed that she was shooting outdoors in the heat wave. Asking news anchors to stop complaining, she wrote, “News anchors from their AC studios are complaining about the temperature and heat wave outside, what about those like us who are filming outdoors with loads of added lights and enclosed spaces, ha ha stop complaining guys, life is great for as long as it’s challenging you feel alive if it’s easy and predictable it’s like death, happy summer.”
