Kangana Revisits Koffee With Karan Controversy

Kangana Ranaut has revisited her viral 2017 appearance on Koffee With Karan, where she famously labeled Karan Johar the "flagbearer of nepotism." In a recent interview, Ranaut clarified that her remarks were spontaneous, stemming from a history of being dismissed and sidelined in the film industry.

She explained that her reactions were a response to persistent negativity and attempts to undermine her career. Ranaut expressed that after enduring such treatment, she saw no reason to pretend or protect those who had allegedly worked against her.

Despite the past friction, Ranaut indicated her views on Karan Johar have softened. She described him as someone who is "proudly superficial, flaky, flashy" and possesses a good sense of humor, stating she doesn't have a fundamental problem with him.

Ranaut's 2017 comments ignited a significant debate about nepotism and the insider-outsider dynamic in Bollywood. Interestingly, Ranaut and Johar had previously collaborated on the 2014 film "Ungli."
