'Need logic': Swara Bhasker responds to Kangana Ranaut's 'needy outsider' remark

Kangana Ranaut in a sensational interview with Republic TV's Editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami tagged Swara Bhasker and Taapsee Pannu as "needy outsiders" and called their 'existence the proof of nepotism'. 'Rasbhari' actor on Monday took to her Twitter and wrote, 'Yes, I am needy'.

Taking the 'needy outsider' phrase ahead, Bhasker wrote that she needs 'rationality and logic in debate', she needs 'rule of law', and 'respectful public interaction'. Bhasker concluded by saying, "What do you need?" Replying to one of the users, Swara also highlighted the 'B-grade actor' remark by Kangana and said, "B for बेमिसाल! @taapsee and all those other amazing women out there charting their own path in their careers and in the world! Including Kangana." [sic]

On Sunday, 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. 

Ranaut in the interview on 'The Nation Wants to Know' 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?"
