# Kangana Ranaut calls Karisma Kapoor 90s original fashionista 2026-08-23T15:28:46+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Bollywood actor and politician Kangana Ranaut has shared a throwback photo on Instagram Stories, praising Karisma Kapoor as the 'original fashionista' of the 1990s. In the image, Kangana is seen in a yellow T-shirt, black dungarees and a sweatshirt tied around her waist, a look she credited to Kapoor's iconic style. Along with the photo, Kangana posted a note saying she had adored Kapoor since childhood and added the song 'Le Gayi' from the film 'Dil To Pagal Hai'. She recalled that everyone in the 1990s tried to emulate Kapoor's fashion and mannerisms. Kangana is currently awaiting the release of 'Bharat Bhagya Vidhata', while 'Circle' and 'Queen 2' are in the works. She has not committed to any new film projects and is focusing on her duties as a Member of Parliament. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Kangana Ranaut's social media tributes to senior actors often serve a dual purpose: they signal her rootedness in Bollywood tradition while keeping her name in public view as she balances acting with her political role. The post reinforces her image as a star who draws inspiration from earlier generations, a contrast to her confrontational public persona. With no new film commitments beyond 'Queen 2' and 'Circle', and Parliament sessions resuming, the actor-politician appears to be recalibrating her career. Whether this nostalgic post translates into a box-office boost for her upcoming releases remains to be seen. ## Coverage - tupaki.com Leads with an exclamation headline and focuses on nostalgia, fan reaction and viral potential rather than new facts.
