Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal is the current topic of discussion. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film starred Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, and Saloni Batra among others.

Nonetheless, the film continues to rule the box office and social media.

On the other hand, Saloni Batra who played the role of Ranbir Kapoor’s sister in the film sat for an exclusive conversation with us and discussed if a scene offended her as a woman.

She further added, “Secondly, I wouldn’t want to judge the character because it’s a story, and I am watching it as an entertainment package. There are some films, some documentaries, and all which are there to teach you something. This is there to make you laugh, cry, and feel emotions - just entertain.”
