karan johar kangana ranaut

While the world was congratulating Karan Johar on turning a father of twins, Yash and Roohi, through surrogacy, yesterday, the filmmaker was busy in London giving a candid interview.

The director, whose talk show, ‘Koffee With Karan 5’ saw a number of celebs come in, it was Kangana Ranaut’s presence that shocked everyone. Well, Kangana shared the couch with her ‘Rangoon’ co-stars Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor and being her blunt self, she did not even think twice while taking a dig at the host.

The actress called Karan the “flag-bearer of nepotism” in Bollywood. “If ever my biopic is made, you’ll be the stereotypical Bollywood biggies, who is snooty and completely intolerant to outsiders. Flag-bearer of nepotism. The movie mafia,” she had said.

He did react to her statement during a live chat session on Twitter, when someone asked, “Was Kangana correct about nepotism?” He said, “Not entirely! She made an impact with her sweeping statements! That was fun… for her! And the show.”

But it was during his recent interview where he actually spoke about it out in open. He said that Kangana doesn’t seem to know the meaning of nepotism as he has not promoted any of his family members in the industry. He said that he has, on the other hand, introduced 13 new directors, most of who have no Bollywood connections, and so he is not nepotistic.

Well, what do you guys think about Karan getting back?
