During a promotional interview for their upcoming film Bharat Bhagya Vidhata, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut playfully urged her co-star Girija Oak to use her viral beauty to help promote the movie. Girija Oak, a Marathi actress who recently became an internet sensation and was dubbed India’s new “National Crush,” responded with humility and wit to the remarks.

Addressing her viral fame, Girija stated that she does not believe in the “National Crush” tag, adding that there was no logic behind her interview clips going viral. When asked about the title, she humorously questioned where one gets a certificate to become “National,” pointing out that while Kangana’s “National” status (referring to her National Awards) is official, her own title as a national crush has no legal validity.
