the ongoing "Padmavati" set vandalism in
Jaipur, which forced filmmaker Sanjay Leela
Bhansali to cancel shooting of the film in the
Pink City. When PTI asked Kiran, who has
been vocal about social issues in the past, to
comment on the subject, she raised her
hands and walked away.
Several Bollywood celebrities including
Anurag Kashyap, Karan Johar, Mahesh Bhatt,
Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh have
extended support to Bhansali after a Rajput
group assaulted the film's team. Kiran
however spoke about her work and said
that she is busy with the post production of
"Secret Superstar", which stars "Dangal"
actress Zaira Wasim. (ALSO READ: Kiran Rao

"Work is keeping me busy. I am developing
stuff. There is Secret Superstar' coming up
in August. I am also busy with Panic
foundation and working on water
shedding." The director attended designer
Rina Singh's show at the ongoing Lakme
Fashion Week.
For all those who don't know, the members
of the Karni Sena created a ruckus on the
sets of the film last week in Jaipur,
Rajasthan. Bhansali Productions had even
issued an official statement regarding the
same in which they had stated that there is
no dream sequence or any objectionable
scene between Allaundin Khilji and Rani
Padmavati. "We have been carefully
researching and making the film. In spite of
this, the attack on the shoot and crew was
uncalled for and was extremely damaging to
the image of the beautiful city of Jaipur. We
are grateful to the authorities at Jaipur who
responded promptly and limited the damage
on shoot. We are confident that Mewar will
be proud of the film made on their revered
queen. We do not want to hurt any
sentiments and would appreciate if the local
people support us in making this film and
making their queen revered by the world,"
read the statement further.
