Kangana Ranaut recently called Karan Johar a flag bearer of nepotism in Bollywood at his show, Koffee With Karan. The statement has led to some serious reaction from the filmmaker, who spoke about it at a recent speech at the London School of Economics. Johar asked Ranaut to leave the industry if she finds it that bad.
“I am done with Kangana playing the woman and victim card. I am done!” Johar stated. “You cannot be this victim at every given point of time who has a sad story to tell about how you’ve been terrorised by the bad world of the industry. If the industry is bad, leave it.”
Johar didn’t react to Ranaut’s remarks at the show considering that she was his guest. However he responded to her comments at a later event saying, “When she [Kangana] says ‘flag bearer of nepotism’, I just want to say her, I am glad she knows what it all means. I don’t think she has understood the entire meaning of the term. What is nepotism…am I working with my nieces, nephews, daughters, cousins? And what about those 15 filmmakers, who are not from the film industry, who I have launched and who did the movies? That we’re not going to talk about! You give these people film careers and they have a platform to stand on and that’s the reverse of nepotism.”
Aside from Kangana, there’s a happy addition to K Jo’s family. He recently shared the news of becoming a parent (with the help of a surrogate) and being blessed with twins, Roohi and Yash, whom he has named after his parents.
