KR versus KJo!
But you cannot claim membership of The Association of Outsiders if you are unable to recognise others who have fought the same battle. Systems of oppression like patriarchy and heteronormativity oppress different groups, in different ways. But oppress they do. People with a silver spoon sticking out of them can also be an interlopers ally. You don't have to like your comrades, of course, and that feeling might be entirely mutual.
You simply have to co-exist, and if you don't, then you are guilty not of nepotism but callousness and intolerance, graver accusations to have to stave off. Johar, instead of childishly attacking Ranaut at an awards function, might simply have asked her to explain her publishing: What had she done to counter nepotism? As a woman of considerable power, what avenues had she created for unsupported women like herself to succeed in our films? Instead, Ranaut lectures Johar in print in the Mumbai Mirror on how he could raise his infant daughter to play, among other things, the woman card'. Ranaut is cautioned here that only in India, and only if we are particularly dishonorable, do we drag infant children into a public quarrel involving their parents. And while she accuses the industry of nepotism, she herself is managed by her sister, Rangoli. This imperils the integrity of her accusations apropos nepotism. One empathises that Rangoli is survivor of an acid attack, but surely this is not why she was hired for the job. Rangoli is also Ranaut's sister; moreover, she is probably just darn good at what she does. Therefore, it insults her professional acuity to say as Ranaut did that her sister's recent social media outbursts are hormone related, as Rangoli is pregnant. Ranaut should know better than to haul in a woman's hormones, and her pregnancy, to justify professional conduct. Heterosexual men have been singing the sneering little PMS tune forever, and it's disgusting.
