Indian actor-politican Kangana Ranaut shared her personal experience from the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, recalling how she was at a party when she first learned about the events.

Speaking at the trailer launch of her upcoming film Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Kangana said that she was at a party at actress Shahana Goswami’s house on November 26, 2008.

She explained, “I’ve a crazy story. We were all coming up, working with Mahesh Bhatt sahab, and we were all strugglers in Vishesh Films. Shahana had a house on Yari Road, and she invited us for a party. We were dancing and having fun, and then Bhatt sahab came in. He entered and said, ‘Put the TV on.’ He started watching and said, ‘There’s a terrorist attack happening.’”

The Tanu Weds Manu actress added, “We asked Shahana, ‘Should we go home or continue partying?’ Bhatt sahab suggested that nobody should leave and just wait. So we were around 20 to 25 people at her house when we learned about the attack.”

The 26/11 attacks targeted a railway station, two luxury hotels, and a Jewish centre in Mumbai after militants entered the city via the Arabian Sea. The attack reportedly claimed 166 lives.

Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata focuses on the courageous story of nurses at Mumbai’s Cama Hospital during the terror attacks. It highlights how they risked their own lives to protect and save nearly 400 people amid the chaos and violence.

Kangana’s reflection on that night emphasizes the suddenness and unpredictability of life during such crises.

She said, “It was a night none of us will forget. The events tested our patience and spirits, and we realized the value of staying calm under pressure.”
