Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is a feisty individual and holds on to grudges. The three-time national-award winning actress is not amused with all the controversies surrounding her venture ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’. Kangana has been facing barbs and insults from many quarters from the Hindi film industry.

Now, Kangana in an interview with PinkVilla has once again hit back at Alia Bhatt and said, “I reached out to Alia (Bhatt) and asked her what makes her think ‘Manikarnika’ is my personal controversy. It’s a film the whole nation is talking about and wondering why Bollywood is keeping quiet on such a relevant work. I asked her if I can be courteous and gracious to acknowledge her requests for encouraging relevant work that she does, why is she so scared to see my film.”

Kangana Ranaut’s historical drama ‘Manikarnika’ has been at the centre of controversies.

The ‘Gangster’ actress continued her attack and said, ”I suggested that she grows some spine and supports an important film about woman empowerment and nationalism. If she doesn’t have a voice of her own and her existence is all about being KJo’s (Karan Johar) puppet then I don’t consider her successful. I told her if she is only focusing on earning bucks and not raise a voice, then her success has no value. Hope she understands the true meaning of success and her responsibilities. Nepo gang life is simply restricted to give and take favours. I hope she rises above that.”

Earlier, Alia Bhatt had said that she respects Kangana and is a big fan of her. Alia Bhatt, while interacting with media to promote ‘Gully Boy’ said, ”I hope she (Kangana) doesn’t dislike me. I have not done anything intentionally. If I have upset her then I will apologize to her on a personal level. But I have always said that I have admired her as an actor, as a person. She is very outspoken and it takes courage to be like that. I was not aware about this earlier.”

This exchange between two leading divas of Bollywood is not a pleasant sight at all. Kangana and Alia are role models for the young generation and need to sort out their differences amicably.
