Manikarnika actor Kangana Ranaut, a vocal critic of nepotism allegedly prevalent in Bollywood, has been in the limelight since the demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. She again grabbed eyeballs with her response to actor Naseeruddin Shah, who recently referred to her as ‘some half-educated starlet’.

In conversation with India Today, Shah had said, “No one is interested in the opinions of some half-educated starlet who decides to take it upon herself to you know, get justice for Sushant. If there is justice that needs to be done, I think we need to have faith in the process of the law and if it is none of our business. I think we should we should not concern ourselves with it.”

Reacting to his comments, Ranaut tweeted, “Thank you Naseer ji, you weighed all my awards and achievements which none of my contemporaries have on the scale of nepotism, I am used to this but would you say this to me if I were Parkash Padukone/Anil Kapoor’s daughter?”

In another tweet, she wrote, “Naseer ji is a great artist, itne mahan kalakar ki toh gaaliyaan bhi bhagwan ke parshad ki tareh hain, I rather watch amazing conversation we had about cinema and our craft last year and you told me how much you appreciate me…”

The Queen actor had earlier released a video, demanding CBI probe into Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise. She had tagged the actor’s former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande and his sister Shweta Singh Kriti in the post.
