Months after Kangana Ranaut called her and Shah Rukh Khan as the 'last of the stars', the actress has now stated that her struggle to find a footing in the industry was 'more difficult' than Khan's. In an interview with Raj Shamani on his podcast, the actor said they were both outsiders and don't belong to the film industry.&nbsp; 
 
Ranaut said the difference between her and SRK was that while the actor came to Mumbai from Delhi, she had come from a village in the mountains so her journey was ‘more difficult’.&nbsp;

Kangana on comparing herself to SRK 
 
Kangana Ranaut said, "Me and Shah Rukh Khan are two outsiders. Shah Rukh Khan comes from Delhi, he is not from the film industry. He became the topmost star. I come from the mountains. His mother was a magistrate. He comes from a family who could speak good English, he comes from a convent. To come from Delhi itself to Mumbai, this is not much of a difference. I come from a village, I'm a girl, and I came as a teenager. My journey is more difficult. Having said that, he also didn't have parents, so I draw parallels like that. That's about it."

Kangana also said that there are no stars among the current crop of actors. "In the new generation, I don't think anyone has become a star. The stars are from our generation. No new actor has been able to become a star, though they are trying a lot. In our times too, it had decreased. We also didn't enjoy stardom like Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit." 
 
Earlier in March this year, in an interview with Times Now, she had said, "Shah Rukh Khan ji ki dus saal filmein nahi chali fir Pathaan chali. Meri 7-8 saal koi nahi chali, fir Queen chali. Fir uske baad me kuchh acchi aayi. 3-4 saal phele Manikarnika chali. Abhi bhi Emergency aa rhi hai, ho sakta hai bohot acchi hit rahe. (Shah Rukh Khan had consecutive flops for ten years. I did not have a single hit for 7-8 years before Queen happened. After that there were a few good movies. Manikarnika came 3-4 years ago and it did well. My upcoming movie Emergency could be a big hit)." 
 
“In fact, because of OTT, actors now have more opportunities to showcase their talent. We are the last generation of stars, abhi OTT pe stars nahin ban rahe hain. We are known faces, and by the grace of God, we are very much in demand. To waisa to kuch nahi hai (So, it's not like that). But it's just that I want to involve myself more with the real world than being consumed by the field of arts," she had added.&nbsp;
