Whenever Kangana Ranaut says something on Social Media or on television, it becomes a national news & creates a new controversy. This time she took a dig at Karan Johar again as she praised her favorite celebrity talk show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal. The actor took to Twitter on Tuesday to praise Simi Garewal’s style of interviewing but supplemented it with bashing Karan Johar some more.
Someone on twitter had tweeted how one should watch Simi’s interview with late former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa, before they watched Thalaivi. Reacting to it, Kangana wrote,
“Yes @Simi_Garewaltapped tapped into the real essence of a celebrity, A complete sketch of the subject. Rendezvous with Jayaa maa has helped me a lot in my research, same can’t be said about certain Papa Jo whose interviews are all about bitching, bullying, gossip and frustrated sex.”
Rendezvous with Simi Garewal was hosted by Simi Garewal from 1997 for five seasons. She interviewed stars such as Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and others.
Koffee With Karan was started in 2004 and has had six seasons so far. Karan has also interviewed stars such as Shah Rukh, Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, and others.Kangana also , in Koffee With Karan, which laid to the beginning of the beef with the filmmaker. On the show, she called Karan a ‘flag bearer of nepotism’ and ‘movie mafia’. Afterwards, the comments snowballed into a full-fledged feud. While Karan did react to Kangana’s statements in the beginning, he refrains from commenting on her altogether now. Kangana, however, drags Karan’s name often in her tweets and interviews.
In an interview with Mumbai Mirror in September 2020, Johar was quoted as saying:
“So much has been said about Kangana, me and some kind of rivalry or simmering tension. But at every public event, we’ve met, we’ve greeted each other graciously. Whatever may have been said or insinuated in print, I think I’m too old and wise to hold any kind of malice in my heart for anybody. As a filmmaker, I respect Kangana’s talent, craft, and what she brings to the table. She is an actor who has proved her mettle and is deserving of the honour [Padma Shri].”
