Karan Johar had laughed with Kangana Ranaut as she branded him the 'flagbearer of nepotism' on his chat show recently. But, in hindsight, the filmmaker probably feels it was not funny. KJo, who returned to the city from England on Sunday, attended a session at the London School of Economics where he reportedly said he was "done" with Kangana playing the victim card.
"You cannot be this victim every time who has a sad story to tell about how you have been terrorised by the bad world of the industry. Leave it then," he said. On 'Koffee With Karan', Kangs had said KJo would be perfect to play a "stereotypical Bollywood biggie, who is snooty and intolerant to outsiders."
"She was my guest and I had to hear what she had to say. When she says 'flagbearer of nepotism', I am glad she knows what it means, but I don't think she has (actually) understood its meaning. What is nepotism? Am I working with my nieces, nephews, daughters, cousins? What about filmmakers, not from the film industry, whom I have launched - Tarun Mansukhani, Puneet Malhotra, Shakun Batra and Shashank Khaitan. You give these people film careers and they have a platform to stand on and that's the reverse of nepotism," he said.
