Manikarnika actress Kangana Ranaut has again hit the headlines for the Filmfare controversy.
Ranaut threatened to sue the popular film magazine for nominating her for the Best Actress in a Leading Role Award for Thalaivi!
She wrote – “I have 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 anyway, that is why I have decided to sue@filmfare”.
Filmfare Responds, Withdraws Her Nomination
In response, Filmfare then withdrew Kangana’s nomination, calling her out for ‘unwarranted, malicious remarks’.
“At no time was there any insinuation of an award being given to her or any request for performance at the event made. This is a patently false accusation being made by Ms Ranaut. Our invitation to her was our effort in bringing together everyone in a collective celebration of what brings this nation together, i.e. Indian Cinema.”
