After the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, Bollywood actors came out share their experiences and incidents that made them feel depressed. While some actors delivered a note on depression, Manikarnika actress, Kangana Ranaut delivered a very powerful speech on social media that went viral in no time. Kangana Ranaut is not known for mincing her words or putting them diplomatically, which has been one of the prime reasons for her to court one controversy after another. Furious Kangana raised her voice against the biggies of Bollywood who practice nepotism and hypocrisy. She literally unfolded the darker side of Bollywood.
Recently, in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Kangana Ranaut alleged that it was professional bullying and nepotism that took the life of the young actor. The actress even called out Mukesh Bhatt on comparing Sushant with Parveen Babi. She was outraged because she was subjected to the similar situation in her career. She has also faced a lot of nepotism but she fought back bravely.
Kangana recalled that once Javed Akhtar had called her to his house and told her that Rakesh Roshan and his family are very big people. If she doesn’t apologize to them, she will have nowhere to go. They will put her in jail, and eventually, the only path would be that of destruction…and she will end up committing suicide.
Yelling Kangana added, “Were there people calling Sushant? Were there people putting such thoughts into his mind? I have no idea, but obviously, he was in a similar situation. In his interviews, he had said that nepotism cannot co-exist with talent because they don’t allow the right talent to come up. I can relate to it, and hence I am raising questions. I want to know who played the catalyst in this situation?”
“I know Sushant had big fallout with Aditya Chopra also. When I refused Sultan, he had threatened he would never work with me. Ever since our industry ganged up on me, I remember so many times feeling really lonely and feeling what will happen to me… Why do these privileged people have the power to say that they will never work with someone? It’s your choice if you want or not to work with someone, but why announce it to the world, gang up and make this happen! These privileged lots need to be questioned. They have blood on their hands. They need to answer, and I am ready to go to any extent to expose these people because enough is enough,” says enraged yet courageous actress.
“They are very insecure about things. Despite what they did to me, there was a guy who wanted to get married to me. But he distanced himself; they made sure he ran away. With no surety about my career, my love-life completely has gone awry, with six court-cases against me, they’re still trying to put me in jail. I’m a different person; I’m very expressive. I went out there, and I just vented it out. Sushant was not a person like that at all. He just bottled it up. Media too, has played a considerable part in this—the kind of monster image that was given to him. Everybody who knew him closely agrees that he was a soft and emotional person. I think that after a point it really got to him. I can understand it because even I have been portrayed as a witch and as a stalker,” she concluded.
