Next in the rapid fire round, the question was about which director she respected most between Anurag Kashyap, Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra. Rather than singling any of them out, Kangana joked about her creative preferences and took a swipe at the list itself. She said, “Meri jo filmmaking aur acting ke liye jo liking hai, mere standards itne low nahi jitne aapke hai. Kam se kam list toh achi banani thi.”

Kangana’s remarks reflect her long-standing criticism of parts of Bollywood’s power structure, especially her ongoing verbal sparring with Karan Johar that dates back to her appearance on Koffee with Karan in 2017 when she labelled him the “flag-bearer of nepotism” and part of the “movie mafia.”

She also drew laughter when asked to pick the better actress between Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor, and Sara Ali Khan. Kangana laughed and chose Ananya Panday, a choice that resonated with her earlier dig on The Kapil Sharma Show, where she joked about Panday’s tongue-to-nose gesture, a moment that had previously become a talking point online.

Her appearance at the summit, which blended humour with pointed industry critique, reinforced Kangana’s reputation as one of Bollywood’s most unapologetically candid voices.
