what kangana said
During the conversation, when the host asked Kangana about driving, she said: “I tried so hard to learn driving. Both the times when it came to the driving license, I slammed my car! Me and Deepika [Padukone] came around the same time, she in 2007 and me in 2006. So we were at the driving school at the same time in Bandra. It was the same driving school. I said I want to drive, so I learned it there… So they told me you will get your license today. Then I slammed my car on a rickshaw. I pulled the accelerator instead of the brakes.”
‘Now I will only learn’
She added how left the desire to learn driving after the incident but something shifted after a few years She added, “After 5-6 years I saw at an event that Deepika was driving her own SUV! I said, ‘She is driving, she is studying with me! Then I said, ‘Ab toh seekh ke hi rahungi (She learned how to drive, and we were at the same placeThen I said I will learn driving now)!’ I told Rangoli that all my peers were driving and I again learned. But again on the training day, I slammed my car on a police jeep! My driver sat beside me and said you slammed your BMW! When the police came I said your jeep is okay my car got all the marks! I left driving that time.”
