Deepika Padukone may have bagged major awards, but Sonam Kapoor wants Kangana Ranaut to claim her due

Sonam Kapoor feels that Kangana Ranaut should claim her due of awards and get what she deserves. The actor who is promoting her upcoming Neerja, talked to Bollywoodlife recently and expressed how much she liked Kangana's performance in Tanu Weds Manu Returns.

Sonam also mentioned that both Deepika Padukone and Richa Chaddha ruled 2016 with their respective performances in Piku and Masaan. However, while Deepika attended the major award ceremonies and was honoured for her talent, Kangana didn't. On this she said:

"The two of best performers this year were Kangana Ranaut for Tanu Weds Manu Returns and Deepika Padukone for Piku. For me the most commercially amazing performance was Tanu Manu 2 because she was amazing and she should have got all the most popular awards everywhere.

Also, for me critically Piku was the best performance of the year and so was Richa Chadda in Masaan. But I feel Kangana should own it by attending award shows as she would have received the awards."

As she herself has explained many a time, Kangana Ranaut doesn't believe in award felicitations. She has even been quoted saying:

"I feel that awards shows today are just a facade that the event organisers put up. They are not genuine awards functions. I understand that these are commercial functions that are meant to generate TRPs and make money. So why this facade of felicitating artists when that isn't the case? Genuine artists, like the best technicians, writers and actors are pushed to the tenth row, and sit with their families, hoping to figure out what's going on with these fancy people, who are in the news for their relationships and item numbers.

The main category goes to people who can help generate TRPs. And they might or might not even be deserving candidates. I feel this is not done and we need to change this. Organisers should be honest in saying that this is not an awards function; it's just a function. I won't be part of something so dishonest. I completely condemn them for that reason."

Isn't it always good to see an actor praising another actor's work in the industry?
