Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, she also compared herself to late singer Lata Mangeshkar and said she wouldn't dance at the weddings even if she would be offered five million to do so.

Kangana shared a screenshot of an article on the late singer. The headline read, "Even if you give me five million dollars I won't come: When Lata Mangeshkar refused to sing at wedding." Along with it, she wrote, "I have been through worse financial setbacks, but Lata ji and I are only two people who have massive hit songs (fashion ka jalwa, ghani baawli ho gayi, London thumkda, Sadi galli, Vijay bhawa etc.) to our credit."

She continued, "But no matter how many temptations I got I never danced in the weddings, many super hit item songs were also offered to me, and soon I avoided award shows also. It takes strong character and dignity to say no to fame and money, in the world short cuts young generation needs to understand only wealth one can acquire is the wealth of integrity (thumbs up emoji)."
