Kangana Ranaut has responded to an old clip from the popular talk show ‘Koffee With Karan’, in which Sonam Kapoor mocked her English-speaking skills. The clip resurfaced on social media, prompting Kangana to share her thoughts on the matter.
In the clip, host Karan Johar asks Sonam Kapoor who she would give the ability to speak English fluently, and she mentions Kangana’s name. Kangana, however, took this opportunity to shed light on the mockery she has faced from the film industry.
Reposting the clip on her Instagram handle, Kangana wrote, What I learned from years of fights with the film mafia is that no outsider will ever be mocked for not speaking English. Also, that show is officially closed forever. She also added, Please don’t miss my comeback in the end. Even at 24, after being openly bullied, humiliated, and mocked, I showed grace, sophistication, articulation, and humility which English speaking gossipy aunties with so-called great upbringing can never.
This incident sheds light on the ongoing conversation surrounding the discrimination faced by outsiders in the film industry, particularly when it comes to language skills. Kangana has been vocal about her own experiences and has often been at the center of controversies surrounding the issue.
On the work front, Kangana Ranaut has an interesting lineup of projects. She will be seen in ‘Emergency’, a movie she has directed herself, where she will be portraying the role of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The movie is set to release on November 24, 2023. Kangana also has ‘Tejas’ in the pipeline, where she will be playing the role of an Air Force pilot. The film is scheduled to release on October 20, 2023.
Kangana’s response to Sonam Kapoor’s comments highlights the struggle faced by outsiders in the film industry and the need for inclusivity in the face of language biases. It will be interesting to see if this conversation sparks further discussions and changes within the industry.
