Esha Gupta Extends Support To Kangana Ranaut, Says 'It's Time To Speak Up'

'Rustom' actress Esha Gupta had earlier posted a cryptic tweet to support Kangana Ranaut.

New Delhi: Kangana Ranaut’s explosive interview with a leading news channel grabbed several eyeballs as the actress openly spoke about the prevailing practice of nepotism in the Hindi film industry. The ‘Queen’ actress, who called Karan Johar the ‘flag bearer of nepotism’ in Bollywood on his show ‘Koffee With Karan’, took potshots at the biggies and said that they pressurized Sushant Singh Rajput to take the drastic step. The ‘Panga’ star also said that ‘movie mafia’ has ruined her chances of getting married as they have labeled her a ‘man eater’ and ‘nymphomaniac’. Kangana addressed Taapsee Pannu and Swara Bhasker as ‘needy outsiders’ and said that they are likely to challenge her views on nepotism. Her comments didn’t go down well with the two actresses. Taapsee and Swara were engaged in a war of words with Kangana’s digital team on Twitter. Esha Gupta, who made her Hindi film debut with ‘Jannat 2’ opposite Emraan Hashmi, came in support of Kangana. Although, the ‘Rustom’ actress didn’t take up names, she said that families are ganging up against one person. “Stunned to see how families are going against one person,one human. Even though the fight is against the wrongs done to a lot of us,which has led many to be distressed n depressed. Let’s not forget, it was Gandhi Ji alone who led us towards independence,” Esha tweeted.

The ‘Humshakals’ actress further tweeted, “I meant- Gandhi ji wasn’t alone. Just like now, people can gang up against her. But the movement is for all of us, she is not alone. We all are with you. It’s time to speak up.”

Esha had earlier posted a cryptic tweet, which read, "If history has taught us anything, it’s the fact that, whenever a woman rises against authority, she’s called either crazy or bossy or difficult. It’s easier to be a part of herd than stand against all."

On the professional front, Esha Gupta was recently seen in 'Rejctx 2'.
