Queen fame, Kangana Ranaut is known for her unfiltered opinion and unapologetic approach. In an interview with the Times Of India, Kangana revealed that she had called her Manikarnika:The Queen of Jhansi co-star, Ankita after Sushant's death to get a better understanding of him She said, "When I spoke to Ankita, she said right from the beginning, there was so much humiliation that he could not take it. This is how she summed it up. Sushant made it in Bollywood from the television world, after 'auditions after auditions, rejections after rejections."
According to Kangana, Ankita told her how grounded Sushant was, that he never let his success get to his head. She said that according to Ankita, Sushant was 'so grounded' even after becoming one of the most sought-after stars in a short span of time. However, he was very sensitive to how others perceived him. Kangana further added, "But one thing that she (Ankita) also said about him was that he was not thick-skinned. He would sit on Twitter when he was new and would fight with fans, asking 'why did you think that about me? Why did you say that about me? I am not this person that you are saying.' Ankita told me that she used to tell him ki abhi ye toh hoga na. Everybody will have their perception of you, why are you so bothered about it? He just could not take that, he could not take what people thought about him. She said, over a period, the bad PR, the ganging up, the public humiliation, he just could not take it. He has had enough."
Kangana further revealed that Ankita told her that Sushant was a lot like her, intellectual, kept away from gossip and passionate about his work. However, he always sought validation and acceptance from Bollywood. In Kangana's words, "People like us, when we come from outside, we are enamoured by them. And that's what even Ankita told me about Sushant. He wanted to be accepted. She said, 'Kangana, Sushant was exactly like you, he was very intellectual, he would not gossip about anyone, and was very invested in what he did. He had that small-town personality.' But she said that 'the only difference was that he wanted to be accepted. You somehow have gotten over that urge.'"

Talking about when she had entered Bollywood, Kangana said that, initially, she, too, wanted to fit in. She said, "I went through that phase where I straightened my hair, I stuffed my lips with botox, I started to do films like Rascals, I wore a bikini – I wanted to be desperately accepted. I went through that. I wanted to be on the cover pages of magazines. I wanted to win awards. But it is not going to help. I was still B-grade, and they did not accept me."
