It was in an interview with India Today that Urmila had claimed that if Kangana knows names of stars who are into drugs, she can name them and that she will give her a thumbs up for that. Further, she even mentioned that Himachal Pradesh, where Kangana hails from, is actually the origin of drugs.
She questioned if Kangana is aware of that in the interview with India Today. Citing one of Urmila’s interviews as an example, Kangana hit out at her in a chat with Times Now and said that the Rangeela star used expressions to ‘mock’ her struggles. It was then that Kangana said the ‘soft porn’ comment.
