Speaking to Times Now, Kangana said Urmila wasn’t known for her acting. “Even Urmila, she is a soft porn star. I know it’s very blatant. But she isn’t known for her acting for sure. What is she known for? For doing soft porn right? If she can get a ticket, why won’t I get a ticket?,” Kangana said. Urmila had said in an interview with India Today on Tuesday that Kangana should look inside her own backyard before slamming other states for a drug problem. “The entire country is facing the menace of drugs. Does she (Kangana) know Himachal is the origin of drugs? She should start from her own state.”
