Journalist Anna Vetticad has shared an excerpt from her old Kangana Ranaut interview, in which the actor appears to be defending star children for their privilege, comparing it to a quota system in the educational field. In the video, Kangana says that he has benefited from the quota system and therefore does not hold the lineage of the star children against them.
“The kind of background I come from, my father is a businessman, my mother is a teacher, my grandfather is an IAS officer and my great-grandfather is a freedom fighter … When I was doing my entrance test Pre-med, I had a particular quota for myself because I come from this particular family. When I come here, how I see the star children is that they have a 30% quota, like me. I’m just trying to enter their territory. Someone else trying to do the pre-medical test, they wouldn’t get that percentage of the quota. This is how I see it, “Kangana said in the video.
Sharing the video, Taapsee Pannu wrote on Twitter: “Ooooooooh. Saara kasoor yeh ka hai quota system (The quota system is to blame for this!) Chalo, this was simple to understand. Ho gaya solves. Simple. All right now in our ‘territory’ or in your ‘territory’ matlab jiski bhi hai aap samajh jao yaar (whoever the ‘territory’ belongs to, please understand for yourselves). ”

Anna said in a Twitter thread that she had “no choice” but to share this video. “In 2010, #KanganaRanaut told me that she does not care about the privilege (she called it” quota “) that star children have since she herself has a quota and a privilege at home because her grandfather was on the ISS, her mother was teacher, dad a businessman and great-grandfather a freedom fighter, “he wrote.

“… I was hesitant to mention this, since I don’t want a discussion about nepotism to be derailed and (this is a golden rule of journalism) I don’t want to do this about myself. But the # Ranaut team left me no other choice by circulating a small clip of this program to claim that I embarrassed her, “he added.
Anna MM Vetticad cares so much about strangers that she asked Kangana about lip fillers in an interview that was supposed to be about her next movie. Kangana spoke extensively about such bias towards strangers and made sure that it never happens to any other actress https://t.co/CqZEageHwJ pic.twitter.com/lKg4brz6qH

I was hesitant to mention this, as I don’t want a discussion about nepotism to be derailed and (this is a golden rule of journalism) I don’t want to do this about myself. But the # Ranaut team left me with no choice but to circulate a short clip of this show to claim I embarrassed her. (Cont.)

… The full interview is on YouTube. See for yourself.
And now, let’s talk seriously about #mentalhealth, nepotism, class and other crucial issues that are being overshadowed by selfish individuals and groups driven by the agenda since the death of # SushantSinghRajput 🙏🏽

Recently, in an interview, Kangana alleged that there is a ‘movie mafia’ and actively sabotaging the careers of outsiders who do not cheat on them. He also criticized Taapsee and Swara Bhasker, calling them “needy outsiders” who denied the existence of nepotism and tried to be in the good books of Karan Johar.
