Kangana sister’s tirade

Rangoli Chandel slams Alia Bhatt who won the Best Actress accolade at Filmfare Awards

- By Deputy tabloid Editor

Kangana Ranaut’s sister is on a roll again. This time she’s waging war on the ‘nepotism gang’ that, according to Rangoli Chandel, swept up all the awards at the recently concluded Filmfare Awards that were held on February 15.

Best Actress winner Alia Bhatt was dragged into the firing line, along with Best Debut winner Ananya Panday. Incidental­ly, both stars got their big break in Bollywood through films by Karan Johar.

“Alia got award for her mediocre performanc­e last year, she has a long way to go but still she was in the lead role, how do you get lead role award in a supporting role is beyond me,” tweeted Chandel in response to Bhatt winning the award for Gully Boy.

Panday’s award for Student of the Year 2 also did not go down well with Chandel.

“Radhika Madan [actress in

Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota] deserved the best debutant award not Ananya, she has opportunit­ies known parents papa jo, at least give Radhika little encouragem­ent…,” Chandel tweeted, adding: “Ankita [Lokhande of

Manikarnik­a] as Jhalkari Bai was a supreme debut…”

“Harassment and suppressio­n of real hard working talent, celebratio­n of mediocrity over extraordin­ary cinema is why Kangana takes movie mafia class and slaps them on their faces... I am with her in her fight,” Chandel added.

However, Chandel’s latest Twitter rant is one such battle in a long history of waging war against filmmakers, actors and the system that she feels has denied her sister her place in history. We take a look back at the most recent online clashes:
