As Kangana Ranaut is all set to celebrate her birthday soon, here`s a look back at the time when Karan Johar heaped praises on her. It was way back when Kangana turned showstopper for Vero Moda’s Marquee collection, designed by filmmaker Karan Johar, and left everyone stunned with her walk. This video of Karan praising Kangana has recently surfaced on social media.

When Karan Johar praised Kangana Ranaut

In the video, Karan can be seen saying, “Kangana is not a choice, she is the only choice. There is no list of options. Clearly, with her performance in 2014, she has a great amount of power in the fashion space. She is a powerhouse of fashion, a stylista, a fashionista, you know, but also a powerhouse actress. And I think today I say with great pride that she is truly one of the finest evolving actresses of the country.”

This video has caught the attention of many who are reacting to the viral old clip. One wrote, “Kangana walks better than every Indian model I have ever seen.”
“Kangana is also better than any Indian actor or model at dragging other actors, their kids, and their families. I remember when Kangana quoted Karan’s tweet about his kids with some hateful rant. She’s vile,” another commented.
