Kangana Ranaut opens a café in Himachal and invites Deepika Padukone as her first customer

Kangana Ranaut turned her dream of opening a café in Himachal into reality called The Mountain Story. It opens on February 14.

Kangana Ranaut, actress and MP from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, has added another feather to her cap. In the past year, she has become a Member of Parliament on a BJP ticket in Mandi, made her solo directorial debut with Emergency, a political thriller film, and is now all set to open her first café, The Mountain Story, in her home state.

Kangana Ranaut invites Deepika Padukone to her café.

On Wednesday, Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram Stories to share a clip from an old video posted by a fan page. The clip is from the News18 Actresses Roundtable in 2013, in which Kangana is heard answering moderator Rajeev Masand’s question, “10 years from now, what would you like to be doing?” Deepika replied, “Still doing the same thing, ya?” Kangana, on the other hand, had a different answer to give. She said, “I’d like to open a restaurant where I’d like to have the world menu. I’ve eaten all over the world, and I’m carrying amazing recipes. I’d like to have a very very beautiful, little cafeteria somewhere. I’m very good with food,” Kangana said, to which Deepika responded, “I’ll be your first client” before the two laughed it off. Kangana, while reposting the clip on Wednesday, wrote, “If walking the talk had a face ha ha it would be me… also @deepikapadukone you should be my first client.”

Kangana and Deepika haven’t been the best buddies in the industry.

Since then, Kangana and Deepika haven’t been the best buddies in the industry. When the Rajput Karni Sena threatened to chop off Deepika’s nose for her portrayal of Rani Padmini in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2018 blockbuster period epic Padmaavat, Kangana refused to sign a petition by several ace actors in protest of the threat. Kangana, more recently, confessed that she turned down Deepika’s part in Padmaavat because she felt the role was “irrelevant.”
