Veteran actor Nagma, who is also an ex-Congress politician, took to Twitter to decry Kangana's ongoing battle against nepotism in the film industry following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput earlier last month. Kangana has voiced her personal experiences with Bollywood's lobbyism in a sensational revelation to Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami in Nation Wants To Know following which the actor has faced countless rebuttals from many industry personalities.

Nagma through her tweet has attempted to point at Kangana's alleged hypocrisy as she claimed that Kangana herself is a product of nepotism in the film industry. Captioning a post with the words, "Kangana Didi's entire career is standing on the pillar of nepotism", Nagma has tried to allege that Kangana has associated herself with big names in order to gain the critical acclaim in the industry.
