'Net-net I think this was...': Swara Bhasker reacts to Kangana's 'needy outsider' remark

Kangana Ranaut in a sensational interview with Republic TV's Editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami exclaimed that the 'flag bearers of nepotism' will ensure that "needy outsiders" like Taapsee Pannu and Swara Bhasker will challenge her views after this explosive interview. Swara on Sunday took to her Twitter handle to react to this statement.

Swara's reaction to Kangana's remark was both tagged as 'sarcastic' and 'taken in a positive stride' by the Netizens. Swara later thanked Kangana for the 'compliments' and called her a 'gorgeous, generous and a great actor'. Kangana on 'The Nation Wants to Know' tagged Swara as "proof of nepotism" by claiming that they too have been deprived of opportunities despite their talents.

She asserted, "What I want to convey through this interview is... for me, I have only to lose here... because I know tomorrow they will get some 20 needy outsiders like Taapsee Pannu or Swara Bhasker who will get up and say, 'Oh! Only Kangana has problems with nepotism. We love Karan Johar'."

Ranaut questioned, "If you love Karan Johar, why are you both B grade actresses? You are both better looking than Alia Bhatt and Ananya. You both are better actresses. Why don't you get work? Your whole existence is proof of nepotism. What are you telling me about how happy you are with the industry?"
