Recently, Kangana Ranaut called Urmila Matondkar a “soft porn” actress, which made Urmila Matondkar furious. She took to her social media so as to get back at Kangana but Kangana didn’t seem to give in. On the contrary, Kangana Ranaut stood her stand and tweeted, “Liberal brigade once virtually lynched a renowned writer into silence for saying people like Sunny Leone should not be our role models, Sunny is accepted by the industry and entire India as an artist, suddenly fake feminists equating being a porn star to something derogatory.”

Nevertheless in her recent interview, Urmila Matondkar revealed that she did face nepotism at the beginning of her career as well because various new faces were making their debut in the same year as she was, out of which most of them were related to the industry. Replying to Barkha Dutt, the senior actress said, “This word called ‘nepotism’, if I start talking about it, I will have to talk for quite a few hours. The amount of it that I have faced, in spite of being from Mumbai, was quite alarming, to say the least. There were some 16-17 new girls who were introduced that year and out of them, some eight or nine of them were somebody or the other’s daughters. I will tell you a few of them – Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, Pooja Bhatt, Kajol, lots of them.”
Towards the end, Urmila Matondkar stated that she was written off the industry despite the fact that her films were doing well. She stated that “After my first film, I made a decent name for myself as a good dancer and a decent actor, and yet, I struggled tremendously. By the time I was doing Rangeela, I was written off like no other actor in the history of cinema. ‘She makes faces’, ‘her language’…everything”.
