In a recent interview with journalist Rajat Sharma on 'Aap Ki Adalat', Kangana Ranaut addressed a series of allegations against her. When questioned about her past remarks regarding various celebrities, including Ranbir Kapoor and Karan Johar, Kangana, who is also a BJP MP, accused Rajat Sharma of colluding with Karan Johar to portray her negatively on the show.
What Kangana Ranaut said
During the interview, Kangana, known for her frequent criticism of Karan Johar and for labeling him the "flagbearer of nepotism in Bollywood," was asked to respond to accusations that she is the "film industry's gangster" and that she makes "baseless allegations" against celebrities. She laughed while covering her face, and then, when told that she "does not let anyone maintain their dignity" and had referred to star kids as "dumb and crazy," Kangana responded, "Yeh mujh par bohut galat ilzam lag rahe hai... sir aap unko defend kar rahe hai (You are leveling all kinds of allegations against me and defending these celebs)..."
As Rajat Sharma reminded Kangana of her comments about Diljit Dosanjh and others, questioning whether her "galat bhasha (wrong language)" was necessary, Kangana replied, "Sir dekhiye, aap mujhe itna gande se represent kar rahe hai, uska bata nahi rahe hai, usne kya kya lika hai, usne gandi galiya likhi thi... oh my God, I can't believe this. Mujhe lagta hai yeh bhi Karan Johar se meeting karke aaye hai. Kitni badi sazish ka main shikar ho rahi hoon yaha pe (You are representing me in such poor light. You are not sharing what Diljit said; he abused me. I feel you have met Karan Johar and come for this interview, it is all a conspiracy against me)."
Kangana Ranaut's spat with Diljit Dosanjh
In 2020, Kangana had a public spat with Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh after he criticized her for her comments about an elderly Sikh woman who participated in the farmers' protests. Kangana had referred to Diljit as filmmaker Karan Johar's "pet."
"Ooo Karan johar ke paltu, jo dadi Saheen Baag mein apni citizenship keliye protest kar rahi thi wohi Bilkis Bano dadi ji Farmers ke MSP ke liye bhi protest karti hue dikhi. Mahinder Kaur ji ko toh main janti bhi nahin. Kya drama chalaya hai tum logon ne? (Karan Johar's pet, the grandma who was protesting in Shaheen Bagh for her citizenship, the same grandma was seen protesting with the farmers. I don't even know who is Mahinder Kaur. What is this new drama?) Stop this right now," she had tweeted.
Diljit responded by saying, "Tuneh Jitne Logon Ke Saath Film Ki Tu Un Sab Ki Paaltu Hai...? Fer To List Lambi Ho Jaegi Maalko Ki..? Eh Bollywood Wale Ni PUNJAB Wale aa .. Hikk Te Vajj Sadey Jhooth bol kar logo ko badhkana aur emotions se khailna woh toh aap achey se janti ho (Are you the pet of all the people you have worked with? Then the list of your bosses must be long. This is not Bollywood but Punjab. Manipulating people by lying and playing with their emotions is something you know very well)."
