Journalists are ganging up against me as I have spoken against biggies: Kangana Ranaut

Breaking! Shiv Sena files complaint against Kangana Ranaut

New Delhi: Queen of controversies Kangana Ranaut said Monday her ugly outburst at a news agency journalist at an event in Mumbai last week happened because she was ‘fed up’ with a section of the media ganging up against her because she has spoken against biggies such as Hrithik Roshan and Karan Johar.

“If you are referring to the recent media incident, honestly, I noted that since I have raised my voice against certain biggies of the Hindi film industry – whether it is Hrithik Roshan, Karan Johar or any other – a lot of that Mumbai-based media has ganged up against me,” Kangana Ranaut told this agency.

Even as most of the journalistic community continued to boycott her, Kangana Ranaut seemed in the mood to hold an olive branch to the press. About losing her cool at last week’s event, however, the actor continued to suggest that the media was to blame.

“A lot of nasty stories are reported everyday and that has been going on for the past two to three years. I was just so fed up. Everything that happened was just a reaction to that kind of pressure, because of all the maligning and smear campaign against me. Otherwise, I feel I have earned a lot of goodwill. Even in media I have great friends and some great advisors,” Kangana pointed out.

Kangana’s tiff with Johar began in 2017 when she had called the filmmaker ‘intolerant’ towards outsiders and a ‘flagbearer of nepotism’, on his popular chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’.

While on Hrithik, the actor and Kangana were involved in a row that began after she hinted at Hrithik being her ‘ex-boyfriend’. This was followed by an exchange of legal complaints and mud-slinging.

Kangana’s recent spat with the media community happened when, at the launch of the song, ‘The Wakhra Swag’ in the upcoming movie ‘Judgementall Hai Kya’ last week, Kangana questioned a journalist over his negative remarks on her last release, ‘Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi’.

“I have friends in the media who I would call and have broken down in front of them, and they have never written about it. But like I say  ‘everyone who call themselves an actor are not actors’, similarly the media people who abuse their position of power to bully a girl or to gang up on someone are not pursuing what I consider journalism,” the ‘Queen’ actress asserted.

The Members of the Entertainment Journalists’ Guild of India (EJGI) collectively decided July 10 to boycott Kangana and demanded a public apology following the ugly spat between the national award-winning actress and a journalist. The members have now sent a letter to film’s producer Ekta Kapoor, terming the actress’s behaviour as ‘uncalled-for’.

Has Kangana’s attitude indeed become uncalled-for? Has success made her intolerant towards criticism?

“Criticism, bullying and trolling are different things. Criticism in Hindi is ‘samiksha’. If you are analyse a film like ‘Judgementall Hai Kya’ (it) can be done in a certain way, but if you make a ‘Bhagat Singh’ or ‘Rang De Basanti’ or ‘Manikarnika: Queen Of Jhansi’ you have to have a different approach,” pointed out Kangana.

You cannot analyse Bobby (her character in ‘Judgementall Hai Kya’) and Lakshmi Bai (the same way). There are strict rules,” stressed the actress.

Kangana says she would not mind if people make fun of her but asserted that a martyr’s name should not be made light of.

“You cannot make fun of a martyr’s name. It is not acceptable. Can you make fun of Bobby? Yes. Can you make fun of me? Yes. These are very clear guidelines. I was upset about somebody distorting a martyr’s name,” stated Kangana.

“It hurt. Maybe, I became sensitive because I studied her life in detail. But I am certain if I was not playing Rani Laxmi Bai, it would still be deeply hurtful to hear something like that,” the actor signed off.
