This is just my PO... but Me thinks...
Periodically kanganas PR reaches out to media "reporters" and "independent critics" with a $gift$ plus a pair of designer glasses with rose color tinting and it works like a charm when reviewing time comes. Some not too bright souls accuse the "nepo" children and even some who are not so "nepo" but successful of having PR machinery behind them and they do, because in the entertainment field you have to have PR, so they can help network and reach out, most PR agencies do their job as expected and more or less use the same old methods. kangana however is not the regular kind of woman she has a very aggressive pr, remember it is run by the other ranauts with backing from heavy duty x y z PR; come la famiglia di cosa nostra...I assure you there are a lot of perks associated with doing as instructed by her particular PR agency...
That is why you see the hot and cold reviews or the changes in the taste of the "critics" and even a re-adjustment of political views, so they may call her an erotomaniac one day and the next day after the rose color shades arrive with a nice note, they suddenly become her bestest buds and praisers. Naturally la famiglia goes in pursuit of those they feel are more re-known influencers.
Note that some critics...for assorted motives, do not participate in kanganas gift program, and those are the ones la famiglia, dislikes and tries to discredit, by accusing them of doing exactly what they do, or they publicly humiliate them, and tell them to sit down during press conferences, plant stories etc...
..and then there is a majority of people who are merely trying to do their work, they struggled to get thru school and to get a job with a media outlet and then by some unfortunate incident or some question or even walking too hard on the eggshells in front of kangana..anything that does not sit well with ms. ranaut they get in the cross hairs and in one quick minute their career is over and they are branded as liars, criminals, anti-patriotic or they are "warned" with repercussions.
Those poor souls are better off, just avoiding her, her PR and the box with the shades and just hope and pray they get assigned to cover a festival or a not so controversial celeb. and if by some unfortunate chance they do get her assignment then they just sit there, smile and bob their heads, while reciting a mantra to keep away the little devil on their shoulder who wants to yell back at kangana and tell her that what she just said it's a lie....
