Kangana Ranaut HITS BACK at Karan Johar; says I was playing the BADASS CARD, not the VICTIM CARD!

Seems like the cold war between Karan Johar and Kangana Ranaut is not going to end soon as now Kangana Ranaut has strongly reacted on Karan's 'victim card' statement about the 'Queen' actress. _ea53e0ac-048d-11e7-a2a9-8cc6a4d5973b Karan & Kangana on 'KWK 5' (Photo: Star World) At an event, Kangana opens up on the same to a leading daily and said, "I can't speak for Karan Johar's understanding of nepotism. If he thinks that it is restricted to nephews, daughters and cousins, I have nothing to say. But, to say that he chose not to give me work is to mock an artiste. As importantly, his memory appears to be poor because we worked together in a movie (Ungli), which was produced by him. And quickly realised our sensibilities did not match." All this started when Kangana made an appearance on Karan' talk show 'Koffee With Karan 5' with 'Rangoon' co-stars Shahid Kapoor & Saif Ali Khan. The actress tagged Karan as the "flag-bearer of nepotism" which didn't went too well with the celebrated filmmaker. Kangana Ranaut on ‘Rangoon’ failure – “after winning 3 National Awards if people feel…” In response to Kangana's 'nepotism' remark, Karan reacted and said, "You cannot be this victim at every given point of time who has a sad story to tell about how you have been terrorised by the bad world of the industry, leave it." Kangana further states that, "I'm also at a loss to understand how he gave me a platform by inviting me to be on his show. (Johar had said that he gave Ranaut a platform to "give it off to Karan".) I've been on several platforms before with several global icons. To say he helped me voice my opinions is to discredit me as an artiste and a public personality. And, I think, it should be added here that I was invited to be a part of the show in its fifth season. (Johar's talk show made its debut in 2004). His team requested my team for months for my dates." OMG! Did Shekhar Suman called Kangana Ranaut a ‘Cocained Girl’! On the 'victim card' statement, Kangana told Mumbai Mirror that, "I use every card possible. At the workplace, it’s the badass card to fight cutthroat competition. With my family and loved ones, it’s the love card. When fighting the world, it’s the dignity card, and for a seat in a bus, it’s the woman card. What is important to understand is that we are not fighting people, we are fighting a mentality. I am not fighting Karan Johar, I am fighting male chauvinism." Kangana Ranaut, who has films like Tanu Weds Manu & Queen to her credit, recently featured in Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon, which tanked at the box office despite getting rave reviews.
