Varun Dhawan on nepotism row: “Kangna is right”

After months of rowing over the subject of nepotism in Bollywood, Varun Dhawan has come in support of Kangna Ranaut.

At a recent event, Dhawan was cited in The Indian Express asking, “There have been allegations against Karan Johar for only launching star kids.”

Dhawan then responded, “Who made these allegations? You can take the name.” After mentioning Ranaut’s name, Dhawan then answered, “Who all has he (Johar) launched? Star kids only, right? So how is it an allegation? It is a fact, right? However, he has also launched a lot of directors also, like Shashank Khaitan, who is a dear friend. He is from Nashik and he had nothing to do with films. He just gave his script to Karan and Karan wanted to make a film with him. Karan has also made a film titled Gippy. He launched a girl with that too. Siddharth (Malhotra), he is also not a star-kid, but Karan launched him also.”

He added, “So, what Kangana (Ranaut) is saying is right, but this whole thing is too blown up. I think she was trying to get her point across in her way, but people really stretched it too much. Such things happen in the fraternity!”
