Pran Pratishtha Ceremony: Pran Pratishtha ceremony: Kangana Ranaut showers praise on the idol of Ram Lalla, says always imagined he ‘looked like this’

The historic inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is only days away and many celebs, from all walks of life will be present for the momentous occasion. Yesterday, January 19, Kangana Ranaut took to her IG handle to shower praise on the newly unveiled Ram Lalla idol of the temple, a visual depiction of Lord Ram as a five year old. Sharing the pic on her stories, the Tejas actor wrote, “I always thought lord Rama looked like this as a young boy and my imagination today came alive with this murti.”

She also tagged the scupltor Arun in the same and said, “Kitne sundar aur mann ko moh lene wali ye pratima hai, kitna pressure hoga @arun_yogiraj ji pe aur swayam parmeshvar ko hi patthar mein tham lena.Kya kahein, yeh bhi Ram ki hi kripa hai. @arun_yogiraj ji Shri Ram ne aapko swayam darshan diya hain, aap dhanya hai” (Such a lovely and enchanting idol you have made. This too is Lord Rama’s blessings. He has blessed you with his divine vision).

On the workfront, the actress recently recalled her days shooting for the film as a teenager in the industry. She says when she looks back she doesn’t feel any difference as she was always an old soul.
In the BTS video, Kangana can be seen shooting for ‘Fashion’ and even talking about her character in the film. She captioned it, ‘Throwback to this lovely video of me literally growing up in the industry as a teenager with so many talented people around but when I look back I don’t feel any different as I was always an old soul… But here in the throwback BTS I hardly around like a 17 year olf kid that I was…’

Earlier, in an interview with ETimes, Kangana spoke about if she anticipated all the appreciation she received for the film. She said, “After ‘Gangster’, ‘Metro’ and ‘Wo Lamhe’, I was very hungry for something more. Those were all lead roles in female-centric films and in ‘Fashion’, I had a small supporting role. I look back and see myself as a teenager, I am like ‘I am such a dynamite of energy that I wanted to do so much’. I think I just packed everything into what little time that I got. So for me, it’s been amazing that I got a National Award for that but to be honest, I didn’t expect it. I have also done even stronger performances like ‘Gangster’ and ‘Wo Lamhe’ before that which didn’t get me a National Award and this suddenly got me the award. More than that, from a parallel cinema, I came into mainstream cinema. People started to recognise me all across the country. It was not that I was just a side actress, it was not that for me anymore, it changed my league altogether.”

The film also starred Priyanka Chopra and Mugdha Godse in lead roles.
