After owning the whole 2017 with “Nepotism” and “Hrithik Roshan” controversies, it seems Kangana has got a new topic.
You may have seen many stars taking a dig on Indian Award system but no one has ever targetted any magazine or TV channel directly. However, Kangana is undisputed queen of controversies has directly targetted Filmfare for not giving her award just because she missed to attend their function earlier.
During a podcast with Anupama Chopra and Rajeev Masand, Kangana Ranaut revealed her experiences with various award functions. She said-
“Initially you have this ideal notion of the system. It is about adding to your Wikipedia (page) so it is all a fairy tale image. I have had some very ugly experiences. Early on, I got dressed up for some award, I don’t remember the award but I was supposed to receive the award for supporting cast for Life In A Metro. I got stuck in traffic. I started getting calls asking ‘where are you’. The hysteria and panic that I experienced, I didn’t make it and Soha (Ali Khan) got it for Rang De Basanti.”
Further sharing her experience with Filmfare, she said-
“I was in the United States for my screenwriting course when I got a call from Filmfare in 2014. They told me I was going to get an award for Krrish 3 and they requested me to come back for just one day so I could attend the awards.” I told them I am doing my course and going back and forth will cost me around 10 lakh. Because I would miss my classes, I told them it’s not possible. They decided to give the Best Supporting Actress award to Supriya Pathak for Ram Leela instead. It is not to take their credit away, but just that you guys want anecdotes.”
The editor of Filmfare, Jitesh Pillai was surprised by these allegations of Kangana. Lashing out at Kangana, he tweeted-
Apparently Kangana Ranaut has given a radio interview where she says I told her she was winning for krrish 🙄🙄🙄. Is she hallucinating? I’ve never had a conversation with her about krrish 😂😂😂

He then said that he didn’t go to anyone’s house or beg anyone to accept the award.
And if memory serves me right kangana reportedly sent her driver to collect her Filmfare trophy to anand rai’s office. I didn’t go to anyone’s house or beg anyone to accept award🙄🙄🙄

Sonam Kapoor was brought into the conversation by him as he tweeted-
There’s also a reference to Sonam Kapoor being made by the host. And an incorrect assumption being made too by him. Box office doesn’t determine the merit of a performance. A good performance is a good performance. Simple

He concluded with these tweets-
Thank you baby. Clearly it doesn’t suit the conspiracy narrative na? It would be soon boring to say Filmfare is nice and all😂😂😂
