Kangana Ranaut made headlines when she called Karan Johar the ‘flagbearer of nepotism’ and ‘movie mafia’ during her appearance on the Koffee with Karan episode in 2017. The actor recalled what happened backstage after that episode in a new interview with The Lallantop. The actor and politician said that Karan was ‘taken aback’ that she gave it back to him in that manner. 

What Kangana said

During the chat, when the host reminded Kangana of her old statement where she said that if ever a biopic is made on her, Karan Johar would play the stereotypical villian, the actor started laughing. She then added, “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 (Karan Johar is just a local villain. If my biopic is made now, there will be a bigger villain. There are bigger villains in my life now)!”

When she was asked about the Koffee with Karan episode, she said, “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 does, so he knows).”
