Kangana Speaks Of Nepotism, Vengeance & The ‘Sadism Of The Human Psyche’

Kangana Ranaut is often at the forefront when it comes to speaking against nepotism in B-town. In fact, the ‘Queen’ actor recently lashed out at a few celebrities & re-ignited a debate on the subject after SSR’s untimely demise. However, Kangana’s strong views about nepotism weren’t formed in a day. During her initial days in Bollywood, she didn’t consider it to be a massive hurdle as she wasn’t aware of how “grave” it was back then, reports HT.

Recently, in an interview, she was quoted saying, “There have been many challenges and I felt maybe nepotism is one of those that I can override and turn it into my favour and it wasn’t always in play but it only became very toxic and life-threatening when I became the top star.”

Speaking about its prevalence in Hindi cinema, she added, “With the kind of society we are in, the kind of industry we are in, 90% of the people kind of belong to film families. They are either friends or they are from the close-knit circle.” In fact, Kangana said that she was just fooling around when she joked about nepotism on KJo’s chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’.

She said, “Had I known these people are so dangerous, had I known it would cause death, had I known it is not just something to joke about or tease about, it is just not something about snatching films.”

“It is not only about films, but it is also about vengeance, the sadism of the human psyche. I had not done it or taken it so lightly because I think I took it lightly then I was attacked in a way that they went for me. They tried to put criminal cases on me, they tried to sabotage my brands, and my films and my whole brand came crashing before Manikarnika. I think that discouraged Sushant in a huge way who was supporting me and then this is what happened.”

Kangana has been engaging in a fierce twitter feud with actors Taapsee Pannu and Swara Bhasker after she labeled them as ‘B-grade actresses’ who support nepotism. Well, everyone has a right to express their opinions but it’s unfair to force your views on people. Don’t you think? Tell us!
