Kangana Ranaut Recalls KoffeeWithKaran Episode, Says Filmmaker Is Very Snooty, Classist

Kangana Ranaut recently revisited her controversial 2017 appearance on Karan Johar's chat show, Koffee With Karan. She described the filmmaker as 'snooty and classist' and revealed that he was 'taken aback' by her comments during the episode.

During her 2017 appearance on Koffee With Karan, Kangana Ranaut didn't hold back. She labelled Karan Johar as 'the flagbearer of nepotism' and 'movie mafia.' She also thanked him for mocking her English, stating that his taunts motivated her to succeed. In a recent interview with The Lallantop, she shared that Karan was surprised by her bold responses.

In the same interview, Kangana laughed when reminded of a past comment where she said Karan would play the conventional villain in any biopic about her. She elaborated, "Ab toh mere biopic mein bade level pe, bade wale villain honge. Ye chote, mote villain nahi. Local nahi! Isko abhi chota villain banayenge! Ab achche, bade bade villain ayenge mere life mein (There will be big-level villains in my biopic. Not these small, local ones. We'll make him a small villain! Now there will be big villains in my life)."

Behind the Scenes of the Infamous Episode

Kangana further commented on the infamous episode, saying, "Usko pata he kartute hi uske aisa he ki usko pata he! He is very snooty, very classist. He was taken aback that I gave it back to him (He knows exactly what he is doing; he is very snooty and classist)." Her remarks highlighted the tension between them during the show.

Looking ahead, Kangana is eagerly awaiting the release of her next film, Emergency. This political drama sees her portraying former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Scheduled to hit theatres on September 6, Emergency marks Kangana's first solo directorial venture.

Emergency features an ensemble cast including Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhry, Shreyas Talpade, Milind Soman, and the late Satish Kaushik. Previously, Kangana co-directed Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi with Krish Jagarlamudi in 2019.
