Kangana Ranaut’s interview

During her recent interview with Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami, Kangana Ranaut made some of the biggest revelations. She also raised several questions about Sushant Singh Rajput’s death and called it a murder. She also questioned Mahesh Bhatt’s role in Sushant’s life. Talking about Swara Bhasker and Taapsee Pannu, Kangana questioned, "If you love Karan Johar, why are you both B grade actresses? You are both better looking than Alia Bhatt and Ananya. You both are better actresses. Why don't you get work? Your whole existence is proof of nepotism. What are you telling me about how happy you are with the industry?"
