Actress Kangana Ranaut has again taken a dig against Karan Johar and requested the Indian government to take back his Padma Shri award. Kangana has said that Karan had asked her to leave the film industry and taken a jibe against her on an international platform.
Kangana has been vocal about Sushant Singh Rajput’s death and said that he died due to favouritism and nepotism in the Indian film industry and also focused on CBI investigation. She said that Karan Johar tried to sabotage Sushant’s career. Few other stars from the film industry have marked her silence when questions were asked about her sister running her production house. Some have not even named her directly.
Kangana has slammed his latest project and tweeted against Karan that he has made an “anti-national film” and the facts shown are “absolutely against the Indian army”. Her team had tweeted, “I request government of India to take KJO’s PadmaShri back, he openly intimidated me and asked me to leave the industry on an international platform, conspired to sabotage Sushanth’s career, he supported Pakistan during Uri battle and now anti national film against our Army.”
The tweet was done by taking reference from Srividya Rajan, who was deployed with Saxena at Udhampur airforce base. The tweet mentioned that Rajan was the first woman to fly to Kargil and not Saxena. There was a scene where a female trainee pilot needed to wrestle with her male counterpart to prove her worth was completely false. Many facts in the film have been twisted.
Kangana on August 16 wrote a poem criticizing Karan Johar and his latest film based on the life of Air Force woman pilot Gunjan Saxena. She had earlier slammed Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl featuring Jahnvi Kapoor through tweets written by her team. Not only Kangana, many others have also attacked the movie. A hashtag saying that Karan has insulted Indian Air Force was trending on twitter on 13th August.
The filmmaker was trolled by many social media users for the gender bias shown in the film which is based on the life of Gunjan Saxena who was part of 1999 Kargil War and contributed greatly to the cause.
