Rangoli replied to a certain ranking tweet based on "Box office pull of actresses," in which her sister was given the top spot.
She bashed such rankings, and said that other leading actresses such as Alia and Deepika have no "real competition" with Kangana, and that they are only "riding on big names."

Meanwhile, reports of Kangana interfering with the direction of her upcoming film Mental Hai Kya are also doing rounds.
