Mumbai: Kedarnath actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely death has now prompted a genuine and ceaseless discussion on nepotism in the film industry. Actress Kangana Ranaut is seen attacking whoever comes in her manner in the discussion of nepotism.
As of late in a selective meeting, the Queen actress targeted actresses Taapsee Pannu and Swarka Bhasker and called them B-grade entertainers. She likewise said that both are preferable looking and better on-screen characters over Alia and Ananya.
Both, Swara Bhasker and Taapsee could not keep their calm and gave a befitting reply to Kangana on terming them as B-grade actresses.
Thanks @taapsee for highlighting that the need of the hour is solidarity and sanity. When shoots have come to a standstill,cast/crew have no jobs, we must create a positive work culture! Let's desist from anything counter-productive that'll increase toxicity in our industry!🙏❤️ pic.twitter.com/CuYAuVNT7L

Taking to her Twitter account, Taapsee wrote, “Maine suna class 12th n 10th ke result ke baad humaara result bhi aa gaya hai! Humaara grade system ab official hai ? Abhi tak toh number system pe value decide hoti thi na #MaLifeMaRulesMaShitMaPot“
Not only this she slammed Kangana and told, “I refuse to be bitter. I refuse to take advantage of someone’s death for personal vendetta and I refuse to make a mockery out of the industry that gave me bread and identity. I have had my share of struggles and just because I don’t glorify them or deal with them with a positive outlook doesn’t make me any less of the outsider.”

She further added, “Yes, I’ve been dropped out of films and replaced with star kids but the fact that she and her sister try to discredit me and my hard work, call me names, put wrong allegations on me is actually an equal level of harassment if not more. All this coz I refuse to sing her tune and because I refuse to see her as the flag bearer of outsiders, we all are not bitter people.”
Next time another outstanding talent gets scared to even enter our industry n kills his passion and hope to contribute to Indian cinema coz some people painted purely negative picture about how outsiders are treated do remember YOU are ALSO responsible for it. https://t.co/ity5a4p1zL

Well, actress Sonakshi Sinha couldn’t hold her happiness back and applauded Taapsee for her great reponse to Kangana. She took to her IG story and thanked Taapsee for her dignified remark.
She wrote in her Insta story, “Proud of you @taapsee! The dignity, maturity and integrity with which you have responded has my respect and I am sure of most others too. More power to you.”
N we convey such a generous point by calling your fellow actresses B grade ? N saying that their existence is coz of nepotism ? Wow quite a RIGHT way of putting it across. https://t.co/gzppmZmHqy

Why did #Kangana chopped @sonusood’s role in Manikarnika? He shot for 45 days. All time wasted. She directed only 30% of the film still she was called the director and the main director was names as co-director. pic.twitter.com/vIAWz7PeOx
