Controversies and Kangana Ranaut go hand in hand. Whenever she is in the headlines, we expect controversy. Now, she is making it to the news for her spat with Filmfare.
Recently, Kangana stated that she will sue Filmfare after they sent her an invite for this year’s Filmfare awards. In her Instagram post, Kangana stated, “I’ve banned unethical, corrupt and totally unfair practices like @filmfare since 2014, but since I have been getting many calls from them for attending their award function this year as they want to give me award for Thalaivii…”
“I am shocked to know that they are still nominating me. It is beneath my dignity, work ethics, and value system to encourage such corrupt practices in any way, that is why I have decided to sue @filmfare … thanks,” she added.
After Kangana’s statements, Filmfare decided to withdraw her nomination. In its official social media statement, Filmfare stated, “It pains us at Filmfare, today, to be subjected to unwarranted malicious remarks by Ms. Kangana Ranaut. For six decades, Filmfare Awards, and Filmfare, at large, has been a platform that celebrates and honours talent in the Film industry impartially and with utmost transparency. It is our strong ethic that has helped us in gaining the trust of our audiences and the film industry”.
“Despite knowing that she would neither attend nor perform. Given the irresponsible remarks made by Ms. Ranaut about Filmfare Awards, we are withdrawing her Best Actress nomination for the movie Thalaivii. We reserve all rights to pursue any legal action against her malicious and defamatory statements tarnishing our reputation and goodwill,” the statement further added.
