I am a big admirer of Kangana Ranaut, says Amitabh Bachchan

After a tough few weeks comes some relief.

Kangana Ranaut, who endured a lot of criticism and namecalling since she became embroiled in a legal tussle and war of words with her alleged ex-beau Hrithik Roshan, has found supporters in Bollywood, including the likes of Amitabh Bachchan.

The veteran actor was all praise for the three-time National Award winner, saying that "I am a big admirer of Kangana Ranaut. She is a wonderful actor.”

But he stayed clear of commenting on her spat with Hrithik Roshan, reported Indian Express.

Vidya Balan also chimed in with praise for the Queen star today, and also directly spoke about the way she's handled the negative publicity.

“I really think it is none of my business to be judging anyone but I have the greatest admiration for Kangana Ranaut because she is standing up for herself,” she said.

“I think that it is very creditable because as woman we find it very easy to stand up for other people, our family members, our children, our husbands, parents but we rarely stand for ourselves. And she is standing up for herself so kudos to her and more power to her for that,” added Balan.
