Kangna re-ignites talk on nepotism

After a lull period, Kangna Ranaut has once again lifted the lid on the discussion surrounding nepotism in Bollywood.

Since her appearance in ‘Koffee With Karan’, Ranaut publicly attacked Karan Johar branding him the ‘flagbearer of nepotism’. She’s not said anything on the subject for a few days until now. Talking about her favourite topic, Ranaut said:

“If you’re talking about nepotism, it’s not an objection, it’s an observation. As an individual, it is my prerogative to leave my footsteps behind for the ones who will follow me. It is important they know where I fell, where I walked, stayed and ran… We should all work on it and not point fingers and make it sound like a fight to make the society more democratic for everyone. What is an outsider?’ We are all working to make cinema. Anyone working for some other intention is an outsider. I don’t consider myself an outsider. Whoever comes from an unconventional background, they should work towards it and not say, ‘Oh we have been lucky enough that we didn’t face any discrimination or we are the chosen one, the industry has accepted us with open arms’. The fact that today in the industry we have a lot more democratic environment is also because of people like us who have been working at it. I see newcomers easily say ‘I can’t talk in English I will only talk in Hindi.’ It’s because we have made it appear cool. We are going to make outsiders feel and appear cool.”
