The Kangana Ranaut and Karan Johar war became the talk of the town since she called him a movie mafia and flagbearer of nepotism.
Post the infamous episode, Karan was asked about Ranaut's comments. He stated, "I am done with Kangana playing the woman card and the victim card. You can't be a victim at every point of time who has a sad story to say as to how you have been terrorised by the bad world of industry. If that's the case, leave it."
Post these quotes by Karan, Kangana wrote an open letter in a leading tabloid stating, "I can't speak for Karan Johar's understanding of nepotism. If he thinks that it is restricted to nephews, daughters and cousins, I have nothing to say. But, to say that he chose not to give me work is to mock an artiste. As importantly, his memory appears to be poor because we worked together in a movie (Ungli), which was produced by him. And quickly realised our sensibilities did not match."
Today, on the Koffee Awards episode of the show, Kangana's 'flagbearer of nepotism' quote was one of the nominations for the Best Line/Quote on the show. The jury Malaika Arora, Ayan Mukerji, Neha Dhupia and Rohan Joshi were shocked by her comments.
Rohan went on to say that Kangana invented a fictional Karan Johar, whereas Malaika stated that she was candid as hell. But, the jury was confused whom to give away the title between Kangana and Sohail Khan who was part of 100th episode along with brothers Salman and Arbaaz Khan.
When Karan was asked about his opinion, he stated, "I am all about giving it to Kangana. She wanted to make me her nemesis. If she writes her autobiography, I would be the bad guy. I am all about understanding her perspective. Though, I may not agree."
declaration, the jury was all for Khan brothers and Ranbir Kapoor-Ranveer Singh episode. But eventually, the Khans won.
While signing off, Karan said, "I was all for Ranbir and Ranveer but it was not me, who was deciding it. And, hey I am not nepotistic. If you notice, the students (Alia, Varun and Sidharth) didn't score, so how does that make me nepotistic. Alia went home with nothing, Sidharth didn't an award. Varun won one. So, hello I am being fair. "
Well well!
