Just a day after Anurag Kashyap went on record, talking about the molestation incident involving his former Phantom partner Vikas Bahl, Kangana Ranaut had released a statement, revealing how the Queen director’s inappropriate moves made her uncomfortable.
She had said, “He partied every night and shamed me for sleeping early and not being cool enough. I often told him off. He was scared of me but still every time we met socially, we greeted and hugged each other. He’d bury his face in my neck, hold me really tight and breathe in the smell of my hair.”
Sonam K Ahuja reacted to Kangana’s claims and said, “I think Kangana wrote something. Kangana is obviously Kangana Ranaut. She says a lot of stuff and sometimes it’s hard to take her seriously. I love the fact that she has spunk and she says what she believes. I really respect her for that. I don’t know him, I don’t know the situation. If what is written is true, then it’s disgusting and awful. If it’s true, then they should be punished for it.”
But when the firebrand Rangoon heroine heard what Sonam had to say, she lambasted her for questioning her. “What does she mean by saying, ‘it’s hard to believe Kangana’ when I am sharing my #MeToo story? Who gives her the right to judge me? So, Sonam Kapoor has the license of trusting some women and some, she won’t. What makes her so unsure of my claims? I am known to be an articulate person, I have represented my country in many international summits, I am called as a thought and youth influencer to these summits, I am not known because of my dad. I have earned my place and credibility after struggling for a decade. She isn’t known to be a great actress, neither does she have the reputation of being a good speaker. What gives these filmy people right to take digs at me? I will demolish each one of them just how I demolished So-dumb.”
After Kangana’s comments, the Veere Di Wedding actress took to social media to clarify her stand. She then wrote, “Women need to stand together! irresponsible media have misquoted me or taken my quote out of context and made other women react. All I want to say is that all I have is compassion and love for you. I’m proud of where I come from and so should every other woman or man. Let’s stand together and speak up. Let’s not pull each other down with bitterness and negativity. Love is always the answer. (sic)”
