Kangana Ranaut is known for taking a dig at the Bollywood industry, and the Judgementall Hai Kya song, The Wakhra song launch event was no exception. However, this time it was not B’town. The actor had a heated argument with a journalist from PTI, accusing him of bashing Manikarnika.
When Justin Rao introduced himself, she immediately dug up the old topic and said, “You were bashing Manikarnika. Have I done anything wrong by making a film on nationalism? You called me a jingoistic woman who is making a film on nationalism.” To which the journalist replied that he hadn’t tweeted anything along the same lines. “You cannot intimidate a journalist because you are in a power position”, he said.
The journalist, however, confirmed that he hadn’t texted Kangana and the interview lasted only half an hour. “If you have the prejudice of twisting whatever I say, I cannot speak to you”, the actor added. Kangana also said that the journalist was harming her brand by saying these things and he had conducted smear campaigns against her.
