Kangana Ranaut has a lot to say and she’s made her statements stand out in a recent interview with Republic Media Network’s Editor-in-Chief, Arnab Goswami, Ranaut made it rain backlashes at many celebrities from the industry over the topic of Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise.
Kangana has been extremely vocal on her thoughts regarding nepotism and has vouched to return her Padma Shri if she is incapable of proving her statements affirmative.
“I am not saying that anyone wanted Sushant to die, but definitely doomed. These people are emotional vultures. They want to see people lynch themselves. Why is Mumbai Police not summoning the ‘powerful four’?
Mumbai police has summoned me and I have asked them to send someone to take my statement in Manali. If I say anything which is not in public domain, I will return my Padmashri.“
Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali was called into the police stationing for questioning worth a couple of hours. Kangana expresses her own thoughts related to Bhansali. Talking to Arnab Goswami she said, “Bhansali wanted him for Ram-Leela, but Aditya Chopra did not allow him to the do the film, so he made Ranveer Singh do the film. Bhansali has not chased any actor for five years, he wanted him for Bajirao Mastani, again Aditya Chopra did not let him do the film, reason best known to him, why because Sushant did not know how to do ‘chaplusi’. They sabotaged his career.“
Apparently the actress claims that she was threatened on being ‘finished’ for rejecting a role in the film ‘Sultan’ which later on went to Anushka Sharma. She remarked, “The director came to my house and narrated the script. I had a meeting with Aditya Chopra… just so that I could express my apologies in person and he was fine at the time. But later a news piece came out saying ‘Kangana said No to Sultan’. And then he messaged me, ‘How dare you? You say No to me’. And then he told me, ‘You are finished’.“
Ranaut also went on to make statements on bigtime production houses like Yash Raj Films and Dharma Productions. She calls them out systematically working in sync on whom to ‘promote and destroy‘.
“When there is a big production house like Yash Raj Films, they have joined hands like with another Dharma Productions because they are childhood friends. And they systematically work with each other, in sync with each other — who to promote, who to demote, who to destroy. I am not saying that they were very much clear from the beginning that ‘Oh this guy has to be killed’. No. Now, Rhea Chakraborty in her statement she has said that Mahesh Bhatt used to come and counsel him. His first assistant has written a big letter.
Who is Mahesh Bhatt? Who is he in Sushant Singh Rajput’s life? Why not call his own father, or his mama or chacha or his directors. He had no business in his life.”
The firing did not stop at Mahesh Bhatt, it was merely a pause as Kangana went on to talk about Alia Bhatt’s film Gully Boy which Sushant’s film Chichhore had surpassed in the charts.
“Now, last year his film Chhichhore came out, how many of us know that it was a bigger hit than Gully Boy? While Gully Boy just made even its profits, Chhichhore was a blockbuster. But there was no acknowledgement for him. For a mediocre film, they are celebrating Alia and Zoya.”
The actress later on also shares with the audience her own battle with depression and nepotism. Ranaut mentioned that even though she did not consider suicide, there had been times where she thought of shaving her head off and disappearing.
She says, “18 brands dropped me within 2 months. Maybe I didn’t have the thought of killing myself but definitely shaving my head off and disappearing. My relatives didn’t let their children meet me because you turned me into a nymphomaniac. Called me so many things in public. As a girl, having a marriage and a child is no more an option for me. They turned Sushant also into a rapist. How will he go back to Bihar? Small cities don’t value money, they value respect.”
Sushant was one apparently of the only actors who supported Kangana as per the latter’s statement on how she received his support when she had spoken on nepotism earlier.
“When he was asked ‘what is your experience of nepotism’, he supported me. He was one of the very few who supported me, rest all these movie mafias bought these needy, struggling, outsiders. Then they were talking against me, that I and Sushant are probably the only ones who have a problem with this loving movie mafia, who were very kind and generous to them and we seemed to have a problem with them.”
