In the photo, Kangana was decked up in a black and white attire with her hair pulled back into a ponytail. Anurag was seen pointing towards Kangana while wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. They were both engaged in a chat.
“Thanks to this mad genius @anuragbasuofficial who debuted me 17 years ago on April 28, 2006,” Kangana wrote as she posted the vintage photo. That is how he taught me. This photo from 2006 shows him and I on a Metro set. His go-to command during training is “Tu chup kar (You shut up)”; I adore you, Anus; thanks for everything. I was taught that actors had a shelf life of 4-5 years, she said. Well, yesterday was my 17th birthday (slight smiley face emoji).”
