Move over, internet sensations! Last November, actress Girija Oak Godbole became an overnight blue saree girl when her photos took over social media. But the actress isn’t one to soak in the ‘national crush’ tag — she thinks it’s totally overhyped. However, her co-star Kangana Ranaut has a hilariously practical take on the whole thing: use that beauty to sell the film, yaar!
Girija Oak’s Viral Moment and Her Humble Reaction
Girija’s blue saree pictures went viral, earning her the unofficial title of ‘national crush’ from netizens. The simple yet stunning look had fans flooding timelines with memes, fan art, and thirst tweets. But in a recent promotional interview for their upcoming film Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Girija dismissed the tag. ‘I didn’t earn it,’ she admitted, calling it undeserved. She revealed that she never understood the logic behind the virality. The multi-talented actress also opened up about her background in biotechnology and her journey into motherhood, reminding everyone that there’s way more to her than just a pretty picture.
The interviewer pointed out Girija’s hesitation, adding, ‘But did you know that she has studied biotech, and there’s a whole life which we have very little idea about, which is motherhood, and this film that’s happening.’ It was a sweet moment of recognition for the actress, who prefers substance over social media fame. ‘I don’t see it as an achievement,’ she said modestly, staying grounded despite the online frenzy.
Kangana’s Cheeky Suggestion: Use That Beauty!
When the topic of the viral blue saree came up, Kangana couldn’t resist jumping in. ‘What is this about the blue saree? I also heard about it,’ she said with curiosity. Then, turning to her co-star with a playful nudge, she joked, ‘Use your beauty to promote our film!’ The comment drew laughs, but Kangana wasn’t entirely kidding — after all, why waste a good viral moment? The actress, known for her own no-holds-barred social media presence, clearly sees an opportunity.
Kangana, who is no stranger to viral fame herself, seems to have a marketer’s instinct. ‘She’s the national crush, and we have a film to release. What better way to get people’s attention?’ the Queen star seemed to suggest. Girija, for her part, looked a bit taken aback but took it in stride. Kangana’s cheeky advice is exactly the kind of banter we expect from the two as they kick off promotions. Arre, a little bit of drama never hurt anyone, right?
Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata: The Film Bringing Them Together
The upcoming film Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata stars Kangana and Girija in lead roles. While Girija prefers to stay grounded about her internet fame, Kangana knows the power of a good viral moment. Looks like the duo’s chemistry is already working off-screen, with Kangana cheekily leveraging Girija’s newfound popularity for some free publicity. Yaar, we love a team player!
Industry insiders say the film is shaping up to be a major release, and with Kangana’s star power plus Girija’s fanfollowing, the box office is bound to feel the heat. With the film on the horizon, expect more such fun banter between the two. And who knows, maybe Girija will take Kangana’s advice and flash that blue saree again at the promotions? Bas, ab toh film ka trailer bhi aane do!
