Randeep Hooda breaks silence on his old tweet targeting Kangana Ranaut

In the recent podcast interview, Randeep opened up about his past remark, clarifying he has no animosity towards Kangana. He mentioned he felt a strong connection to Alia Bhatt due to their work on Highway. "Mujhe ye achchha nahi lagta ki aap apna tuta bajane ke liye kisi aur ko neecha dikhao" (I don't like it when you belittle others to boost yourself). He added that Kangana is a good actor, but such behavior doesn't suit her.

Further, Randeep spoke about his bond with Kangana, including a dream he once had about her. “I’ve worked with her in a couple of movies, and it’s okay. It’s not too close. Kabhi kabhi baatchit ho jaati hai. Infact ek din mujhe sapna aaya, jab Indira Gandhi aur unki picture aane wali thi, sapna aaya ki main aur woh dono bachche hain chhote aur aapas mein baatein kar rahe hain. Maine usko bheja tha message. Boli bohot sweet hai,” he said.
