As the battle on the subject of ‘Nepotism in Bollywood’ continues to get intensified, National Award winning actress Kangana Ranaut – who has single-handedely brought the discussion on the table, has been appearing on multiple media outlets to tell the story of her own experiences.
After the suicide of Sushant singh Rajput, Kangana has been vocal about the alleged ‘bullies of Bollywood’, who, according to her, played a catalyst in driving Sushant to the edge, leading to his ultimate demise.
Amidst all this, a Twitter thread by a certain user has been going viral for alleging how Kangana received the same kind of treatment as Sushant by a certain section of the media and a certain group of Industry big-shots, after being blackballed post Tanu Weds Manu Returns.
The thread mentions and shares screen shots of past blind-items that were written after the release of each of Kangana Ranaut movies, in an alleged attempt of sabotage her career and affect the box-office outcome of those releases.
Check it out for yourself:

#Panga
In this blind by @MumbaiMirror, KR was called an "acid tongued" known to be heckling co-actors. Blind lied about KR abusing Ashwiny & trying to throw her out of the film. Ashwiny & KR are friends to this day and Ashwiny even said she wants to direct KR's biopic for her pic.twitter.com/pVqB6eHJf6— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Panga
In this blind by Rajeev Masand, it was implied that KR is driving everybody crazy on sets which was no surprise for him given her nature. He also said she is lying about doing her own kabaddi scenes. KR trained for months and did every single Kabaddi scene in Panga [1/2] pic.twitter.com/NrRmobxaZc— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Panga
Ashwiny talked extensively about how Kangana was super disciplined and focused to get the body language of an athlete correct. But there were many blinds planted suggesting Kangana used body doubles discrediting her months of training [2/2] pic.twitter.com/gffAwCPBBz— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Panga
A blind by @mid_day suggested that KR "known for interfering" in movies is telling Ashwiny to chop Richa's scenes resulting in Richa threatening to leave the film. Richa had a well written role in the final output with many saying she was the highlight of the film [1/2] pic.twitter.com/KxGFiaTOsx— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Panga
There were many blinds suggesting rivalry between Richa and KR considering their diff. ideologies. Blinds suggesting KR wanted solo interviews and promotions. All of this was untrue as Panga was promoted with the whole ensemble cast [2/2] pic.twitter.com/wGURZmOK26— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Panga
.@filmfare reported that Ashwiny was so disturbed after hearing about Kangana's "interfering behavior" on Simran , Rangoon etc that she has decided to put a "non interfering clause" in Kangana's contract for Panga [1/2] pic.twitter.com/Entxwrn49g— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Panga
Ashwiny went on record to blast these kind of multiple articles suggesting she asked for a non interfering clause. She also talked about how people put things in her mind and told her that a reputed director like her should never work with someone like Kangana [2/2] pic.twitter.com/Udn3so2FIX— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Panga
.@jassiegill talked about how he was warned to behave himself while working with Kangana. He said a perception is built around her that she is difficult to work with. Jassie found his experience to be completely different, not an image of KR that industry tries to paint pic.twitter.com/Qa1Bij3h6d— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#JHK @MumbaiMirror reported that Kangana refused to shoot for Judgementall's posters as she wanted solo ones and was not willing to shoot with Raj. Producers later slammed the reports. For JHK , Both Kangana and Raj got equal number of posters with many featuring both pic.twitter.com/nffdQDF4i7

#JHK
A blind by @supercinemaent suggested that Kangana demanded "endless changes" in JHK Trailer as she wanted to dominate it. She was quoted as the reason for it's trailer launch delay in many other blinds and articles. [1/2] pic.twitter.com/SnfvfWxPK7— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#JHK
Then the makers clarified that the reason for delaying the trailer was due to complaints submitted to CBFC by Deepika's mental health NGO. Film's title was changed and it lost it's original release date. No other film was ever targeted for having "mental" in title [2/2] pic.twitter.com/ZLT2J8chwJ— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#JHK
The famous Justin Rao incident was also one sided. He was writing sexist & misogynist comments on her for the longest time. She called him out openly and he started playing victim. She was called arrogant, psycho and abusive for just asking how he wrote all that nasty stuff pic.twitter.com/hMKr21oUc9— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#JHK
Justin Rao whose father Joseph Rao was a bureau chief of PTI, decided to form a guild overnight just to ban Kangana. Twitter handle was created in a day, notices were out and she was "banned" from any kind of media interaction amidst her film release [1/2] pic.twitter.com/JEKm7S7Rs1— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#JHK
KR decided to take legal action against this fake guild which was supported by the likes of Rajeev Masand. But, after the release of JHK ,they vanished into thin air. It was formed to harm her film, JHK got no coverage from many mainstream outlets during promotions [2/2] pic.twitter.com/W0CgrkAlQd— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Manikarnika
There were countless blinds during Mani suggesting Kangana harassed Krish and kicked him out. All of these were lies which was cleared by the producers later.They said it was studio's decision to do massive reshoots and Krish refused to do it pic.twitter.com/yKP8mwrHEG— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Manikarnika
Krish and Mishti started the negative campaign the minute Mani picked up at night shows on friday. They reached to Faridoon(Kangana hater for ages) to give these "explosive" interviews based on lies. Neither of them had the guts to call out the producers pic.twitter.com/KVRaQEie9B— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Manikarnika
Famous "feminist" journalists like @anupamachopra never supported Mani. Chopra always talked about how an actress should be given a big budget film, yet when Mani teaser arrived, all she could spotlight was the trolling it got from few people pic.twitter.com/7L8K4s9gqG— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Manikarnika
The reviews of Manikarnika was also highly degrading and political. People called Kangana "Sanghi", "BJP mouthpiece" etc when the movie had nothing to do with that. pic.twitter.com/2lV6os76Ug— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Manikarnika
When Mani became a success, KR's horse video was leaked. The mechanical horse is a technology used in movies for close ups,from Gladiator/Bahubali /TanhaJi. But only KR's was circulated to humiliate her & somehow imply that she did no stunts in the movie on her own pic.twitter.com/2Sfkka0j3B— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Manikarnika
Kangana actually almost lost her life doing one of the crucial horse riding scenes.But, after that clip people assumed she never learned Horse riding , meanwhile she did months and months of training for Mani pic.twitter.com/dHUjiKnvHk— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Manikarnika
There were blinds about how Kangana is faking her injuries to find excuses for delaying (cause of budget issues) or to gain insurance money. She got several injuries during Mani, one cut that she got from a sword still remains on her forehead pic.twitter.com/Sn7Qfe1i46— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Thalaivi
There were many nasty blinds and articles that said Thalaivi was shelved due to budget issues. Saying no one was ready to put 100 crs on KR . All these were lies spread to damage her brand as she was under negotiations for other big budget films like #Tejas pic.twitter.com/OhqevEsHbi— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

#Dhaakad
The same fake narrative of not being able to find financiers was used for Dhaakad. Again, they tried to paint an image of how nobody wants to give Kangana a big film. Producers slammed these reports too pic.twitter.com/GX37Rc2sCP— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020

Kangana is very much affected by what happened to #SushantSingRajput because she went through that herself. To this day, her image is being tarnished and she has no PR agency to systematically fight back. PR companies can't handle her straightforwardness
— Navi (@NaviKRStan) June 20, 2020
The battle on the ‘insiders VS outsiders’ subject continues to intensify, as Kangana and a vast number of those supporting the actress, continuously attempt to out the alleged wrong-doings of the showbiz.
If there’s any truth to this thread, it is certainly a shocker.
