Anyone following Bollywood will be aware of that controversial episode of Koffee With Karan, where Kangana Ranaut had appeared alongside Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. While the episode made headlines for the Queen actor sparking the debate on nepotism, it was not the first time that she had appeared on the show. The actor had also featured previously, seven years ago before that, with Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt during the promotions of No Problem.

As Kangana takes on the big names of Bollywood in the wake of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, a video comparing her conduct on both her appearances on the show is going viral.

In the video that captioned that Kangana was ‘humiliated’ in 2010 before rising like a ‘phoenix’ seven years later, the actress is asked how the industry got it ‘completely wrong’, and she had got it right. She responded that it took a ‘lot of hardwork.’

Karan Johar then asked her if she had ‘worked on’ herself, referring to plastic surgery and reports around it.  She hit back by she didn’t have to, and gave a ‘modest’ answer that being from North, she was ‘blessed’.

Later, she was asked about the stories around rumoured ex-boyfriend Aditya Pancholi and Adhyayan Suman. The Gangster star courteously accepted that she was no longer dating the latter. 

Cut to 2017, when Karan asked her who had given her ‘unnecessary attitude’ among her female and male co-stars, she responded that it was Karan Johar, forcing the filmmaker to ‘apologise’ to her.

She then stated that if ever a biopic was made on her,  he will play the role of a ‘stereotypical Bollywood biggie, who is snooty, completely intolerant to outsiders and the flagbearer of nepotism and movie mafia.’ 

Moreover, when Shahid was asked about his ‘deeply sensual’ chemistry with Kangana, ‘freshly’ after his marriage, she hit back that Karan Johar was making their work sound ‘frivolous’ on his ‘frivolous show’. She then added that being sensuous was an art form, that’s why there was hoopla over a kissing scene, and that it was not that they were having fun on screen.
