Soni's comment comes after Kangana Ranaut in an interview with Republic TV when asked about the percentage of people consuming drugs in the industry, she claimed, "At some point, 99 per cent of them. Some might have faced health conditions, or because of age, or after being admitted or having repercussions, they have quit now after doing it throughout their youth. Even if I count them, there are 99 percent people. Everybody without fail, at some point is doing it, and if there is a party, everyone is indulging in it.”
