With the drug angle in SSR case grabbing headlines, Kangana Ranaut too has opened up about the alleged ‘Bollywood drug nexus’.
In a Republic TV interview, Kangana revealed an incident about a man – a ‘character actor’ turned ‘self-appointed mentor and husband’ who drugged and assaulted her in ‘house arrest’.
Talking about her journey of leaving Manali at age 16, after winning a Chandigarh competition, she revealed that an agency then sent her to Mumbai. After initially living in a hostel, she later shifted in with an ‘aunty’ in the city.
Spiked Drink and House Arrest
She then recounted how the ‘character actor’ befriended her at this time, promising to help her in films, taking her for dinners, sending a TV at her accommodation. After becoming her ‘self-appointed mentor’ and impressing the ‘aunty’ with his film connections, Kangana said the three started living together.
Recalling the house-arrest situation, Kangana then revealed, “He fought with the aunty and asked her to leave. But he kept my belongings in the home and locked me. And whatever I would do, his staff would straightaway give updates to him. It felt almost like a house arrest.”
The actress added that he spiked her drink which led to intimacy between them – “He took me to parties and once I felt an intoxication, that led to intimacy between us. Then I realised that it was not done willingly, but my drink had been spiked. And after that incident, within a week, he became my self-appointed husband. And if I tell him, ‘you are not my boyfriend’, he’d charge at me with slippers to hit me.”
Feared Being Supplied to Dubai
She continued saying that she feared being ‘supplied to Dubai’. She commented – “He started taking me to meetings where people from Dubai, those associated with gold mines, coal mines, from big and small cities, would attend, and he’d make me sit in the middle with the elderly men, and he himself would leave the meeting. They would take my number and I started fearing that they would supply me to Dubai.”
Sedating With Injections
Recounting another horrific incident, she shared that ‘this person’ got agitated when she got her break in the film industry, sedating her with injections so that she would not be able to go to shoots. She also shared how Anurag Basu helped her.
“When I got the break, he was agitated. He started telling me after drinking that he never expected that I will get a break so soon. After that he started sedating me with injections so that I am not able to go to shoots, I told my director Anurag Basu about it. If he would hit me and I’d have bruises, Anurag would make me stay at his office for many nights, to protect me,” Kangana stated.
She added – “Even after I got another flat on rent, he made a fake key and would enter anytime he wishes.”
You Will Become Parveen Babi
Kangana also commented that she was told that she would become like Parveen Babi.
“He started telling me, ‘you will become Parveen Babi. Do you know what had happened to her? She was drugged to trigger her mental illness and that’s what will be done to you as well.”
Black Cat In A Dark Room
The report further states another weird incident shared by Kangana. She talked about how Mahesh Bhatt said ‘black cat in a dark room’, and how the ‘character actor’ would ask her to repeat it for hours to create a hallucinatory feeling.
“When I started going to the sets, Mahesh Bhatt, who came only once said, ‘black cat in a dark room’ continuously. I was just 18 years old then.”
She talked about how he started getting more violent and how she escaped and registered an FIR against this person.
“Then he would ask me what Mahesh Bhatt told me. Then he would drug me and tell me to repeat ‘black cat in a dark room’ for hours. All he wanted to do was create that hallucinatory feeling when one feels they are in a different world. I would have committed suicide, but maybe the blessings of my gurus and my inclination towards yoga helped me. When he felt I was going out of his grasp, he started getting more violent. During that phase, one night, I jumped from the window in a drugged condition and got an FIR registered against him.”
Government Helps Bollywood Drug Mafia
“Many young actors, my age, they individually snort drugs and do shows. Second, blind items are also being written about these actors. Dealers are the same. Everything is handled in a systematic manner. Their wives also host these parties. It is a different environment altogether. You will find people who only do drugs and indulge in debauchery in such parties,” claimed Kangana Ranaut.
According to Republic World report, Kangana Ranaut also claimed the government helped the drug mafia in Bollywood grow.
“Many governments have helped this Bollywood-drug mafia grow. Same Bollywood-drug mafia involved, they know each other, same dealers and peddlers are involved. Then there is another racket – blind items, where actors have admitted that they consume drugs. These people promote nepotism, many of them do drugs from childhood and then become actors or directors. Many of these actors, I dated one of them — they go to a place, start with a drink & then go on with drugs. It all starts with a drink, then a roll, and then a pill, then they snort – it’s a secret sign. These actors, their wives move to houses & do drugs, debauchery is unimaginable. I’ve seen how vulgar it becomes and things get out of control at these drug parties. Some of the realities are shown in a recent film, but the truth is whitewashed. My question is how can such people be idolized?”
Bollywood Consumes Drugs Like Food
In another report, Kangana claims that ‘Bollywood consumes drugs like its food’.
“Bollywood celebrities become the face of Youth and promote — don’t do drugs, etc but the gutter of this film industry, as I say, drugs — cocaine, LSD, they consume like food.”
Coming to the Sushant case, Kangana said it was likely that Sushant was drugged to break his mind.
“As far as Sushant is concerned, he was a Science student, if he was into hard drugs, his head would have been messed up, but was it? No. So, someone was giving him hard drugs? No one has seen or heard in the industry that Sushant was doing drugs on sets (Yes, there were blind items but where was the proof?). Marijuana doesn’t even come under hard drugs. So, was Sushant taking Marijuana to relax his nerves? Going by the chats in the public domain, it is visible that only Rhea spoke about hard drugs and Sushant’s chats about the same have not come out. So, was Rhea giving Sushant hard drugs without his permission to break his mind? To conspire a murder?”
