In November 2025, clips from an interview with Girija Oak went viral. It wasn’t for what she had said, but more so for how beautiful she looked while wearing a blue saree. While promoting her upcoming film Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Girija remarked that she hadn’t earned the National Crush tag that followed her after.
Kangana Ranaut reacted to this, saying, “What is this about the blue saree? I also heard about it.” Girija explained that a clip of hers from a podcast went viral and people kept commenting on her looks.
Despite her unhappiness, Kangana joked, “I am very happy you’re in my film. Please apni khoobsurti ka istamal karke film promote kare. (Please use your beauty to promote the film).”
Girija also opened up about the dark side of sudden fame, stating that she was receiving many disturbing messages.
Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata will be released in theatres on June 12.
