For those unaware, Kangana fired the journalist at the event and said: "Tum mere baare mei kitni gandi gandi baatein likhte ho. Jingoistic bolte ho. Itni gandi soch laate kahan se ho? You are bashing my film Manikarnika. Have I made a mistake by making a film? You are calling me a jingoistic person for making a film on nationalism."
The journalist defended himself and told her that she was 'intimidating' him, to which Kangana said she was only being 'candid'.

She refused to answer any questions from the PTI reporter and said: "You are harming my brand and twisting things that I say." The reporter kept clarifying that "I cannot harm anyone's brand with 600 followers on my Twitter handle. I am inconsequential."
The reporter kept saying that he has not tweeted anything of what Kangana accused him of. The argument only escalated from there and Kangana made further allegations at the reporter. Other media personnel, Ekta Kapoor, Ruchika Kapoor, the host, present at the event also got involved in the argument and the matter got worse in no time.
