Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut is one of the most sought-after actors in the industry. Kangana is not just known for her impeccable craft but she also manages to garner all the attention for her sharp and blunt statements. She is one such actor who never minces her words. 

While Kangana is often seen sharing her views on several topics, the Queen actor has taken over the internet with yet another statement. Kangana recently headed to her social media handle and took a dig at Filmfare awards. In the statement released by the actor, she revealed that she is planning to sue the leading magazine brand for nominating and inviting her to their award show.

Kangana slams Filmfare awards

On Sunday, Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram handle and penned a lengthy note slamming Filmfare Awards. In her statement, the actor revealed that she has been getting many calls from the organisers for attending their award function as they want to give her an award for Thalaivii. However, she believes that it's 'beneath her dignity, work ethics and value system to encourage such corrupt practices' and thus she is heading to court to sue Filmfare. The statement read:

"I've banned unethical, corrupt and totally unfair practices like @filmfare since 2014, but since I have been getting many calls from them for attending their award function this year as they want to give me award for Thalaivii... I am shocked to know that they are still nominating me. It is beneath my dignity, work ethics and value system to encourage such corrupt practices in anyway, that is why I have decided to sue @filmfare ... thanks."
