Kangana Ranaut has never shied away from expressing her displeasure for Karan Johar. Nepotism had become a much-used term in B-Town after the actor’s attack at the filmmaker on his chat show in 2017. The Queen star has once again been hitting out at the director, and highlighted the unfavourable industry practices like favouritism, campism and negative publicity for actors, in the wake of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.

As Kangana fumed at the 'movie mafia' while pinning the blame on them in Sushant’s death, in a exclusive interview with Republic Media Network Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami, Karan was once again at the receiving end of criticism. The actor recalled Karan's comment at the London School of Economics in 2017, that he was tired of Kangana playing the ‘victim and woman card’ and should 'leave Bollywood.'
The video went viral after the latest interview became a trending topic on social media, and even netizens slammed the filmmaker for his comments.
In the video, Karan is heard saying, “I am done with Kangana playing the woman card and the victim card. You can’t be this victim who has a sad story at every given point of time, to tell how you have been terrorirsed by the bad world of the industry. Leave it."
"Who is forcing you on a gunpoint to be in the movies, leave, do something else,” he continued.
Netizens had some heated reactions as the video became a talking point once again. They slammed the filmmaker for his smile after ‘insulting’ an accomplished actor and asked how he had the right to ask someone 'to leave the industry', and putting someone down on an international platform. They called him ‘arrogant’ and asked if raising voice against the ‘wrong’ was not right, and called her as the ‘real talent.’
Here are the reactions
In the interview, Kangana had said, "Karan Johar went to the London School of Economics and said, 'Kangana should leave the film industry. She should get out right away' - hooting was there, people clapped when I was here fighting nepotism. A human being has only three main things — Emotional, social, and career life -"
"They choked everything for me. I can't get married, no financial future, don't you think the thought of suicide would cross my mind?" she asked.
Several other statements of Kangana went viral after the interview with Republic TV. She questioned the investigation of Mumbai Police in the case, and urged them to question Mahesh Bhatt, Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra. She also hit out at Bhatt’s interference with Sushant and Rhea Chakraborty’s relationship, while accusing the filmmakers of ‘systematically sabotaging’ his career.
