Kangana Ranaut mentioned an interesting story from when she was learning to drive. The Tanu Weds Manu actress recalled that she often hit other vehicles when she was learning to drive. She revealed that she and Deepika made their debut around the same time and used to go to the same driving school and live in Bandra. Kangana said that when she first took a driving test, she hit an auto-rickshaw twice as she pressed the accelerator a second time instead of breaks. The rickshaw driver was scared and ran away. After the incident, she left behind the idea of driving. She was quoted as saying: 

"Deepika Padukone and I entered Bollywood around the same time—her debut was in 2007, mine was in 2006. We were even in the same driving school back then, both living in Bandra at the time. The first time I took the driving test, I drove my Santro out and ended up hitting an auto-rickshaw. The driver came out, yelling, and I realised I had pressed the accelerator instead of the brake—twice! The auto driver got so scared he ran away, probably thinking, 'This woman is crazy.' After that, I gave up on driving."

Kangana Ranaut recalls she once hit a police jeep after looking at Deepika driving her SUV

In the same interview, Kangana recalled and shared that she once saw Deepika Padukone driving her SUV car five years later. She thought of being unable to drive despite attending the same driving school as Deepika. Kangana admitted feeling like it was a matter of pride and tried to drive her BMW car, which hit a police jeep. Consequently, the Queen actress gave up driving after it. In her words:

"Five years later, I saw Deepika driving her SUV and thought, 'We were in the same driving school and learned at the same time, but she's driving, and I still can't.' It became a matter of pride, so I decided to try again. This time, I had a BMW. I practised for a week and went for the driving test again. But once again, I hit something—this time, it was a police jeep. My driver was like, 'Madam apne police ki gadi thok di. I again did the same mistake of pressing the accelerator instead of the brake."
