Kangana Ranaut has often praised Salman Khan for his kindness, despite her rejecting roles in his films. The actress mentioned earlier that the superstar offered her Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan.

Although she turned down both offers, she noted that Salman remained gracious and supportive towards her. In the latest interaction, she reflected on her friendship with the superstar.

While promoting her directorial venture 'Emergency', Kangana Ranaut spoke fondly of her close bond with Salman Khan, revealing that despite several potential collaborations, they have yet to work together. 'Salman is a good friend of mine, and we've had many opportunities where we could work together. But, you know, let's see. Somehow it never came together," she told News18.

At the Emergency trailer launch, she also praised Salman Khan's massive popularity, acknowledging his status as one of India's most beloved stars. 'If you look at Salman ji, he has such a huge fan following, and people love him so much. Those who love him will continue to love him. But those who find him bothersome will obviously hate him — whether it's his competitors or people in the film industry, 'she said. She also observed that Salman's success and influence can sometimes make him a target for criticism from rivals or skeptics.

Kangana is set to release her second directorial venture, Emergency, following the success of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. The film, based on a pivotal moment in India's history, stars her alongside Anupam Kher and Shreyas Talpade. Slated for release on January 17, Emergency is considered one of her most ambitious projects to date. On the other hand, Salman is geared up for Sikandar, the action-drama co-starring Rashmika Mandanna.

Meanwhile, speculation about a potential future collaboration between Kangana and Salman Khan continues to spark interest among fans.
