Kangana Ranaut targets Vogue India for using old videos to make 'money' despite banning her

| @indiablooms | Jun 24, 2020, at 08:07 pm

Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood's bold girl Kangana Ranaut has alleged that Vogue India's Fashion Director Anaita Shroff Adajania, who the actress claimed to be close to filmmaker Karan Johar, and the magazine have banned her but are still using her old videos 'to make money'.

Team Kangana tweeted: "@VOGUEIndia has banned Kangana, (her last cover with them was 5 years ago), because @Anaita_Adajania
(their style editor & now Fashion Director) is very close to Karan Johar, but is it fair for them to keep using her old videos to keep making money?"

In an interview to a media house, Kangana said, “During my movie Fashion’s release in 2008, Vogue did a cover with Priyanka Chopra and refused to put me on their cover, they said I am not an A-lister, in 2014 Vogue approached me for a cover but Anaita refused to style me. She sent her assistant and they shot it in Mukesh mills.”

She alleged that even later during a shoot in the same location after she got more acclaim she was short-changed by Anaita. She said she was told that if she wants "to do covers with them then I must attend their beauty awards." 

Kangana has recently triggered the nepotism debate in Bollywood and reacted strongly over the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. The 34-year-old actor committed suicide in his Mumbai house on June 14.

Kangana, known for challenging the Bollywood royalty over nepotism, had earlier asked if the death of Sushant Singh Rajput "was suicide or planned murder", hinting that the actor was driven to take the extreme measure.

She had said Sushant's death has left her devastated but the 'Queen' actress slammed the 'parallel narrative' over the issue.

Kangana had said she fails to understand how some are saying that people with weak mind commit suicide by getting depressed.

She had said Sushant had in some of his posts had literally begged to people to watch his films as he had 'no Godfather in the industry.'

"He had complained in interviews that why people from the industry don't accept me as an actor," Kangana had said.

Sushant's death has created a new ripple in the social media with some raising the issue of depression while others are targeting celebrities like Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt and even Salman Khan over favouring those having Bollyoowd lineage.

Several Twitteraties have lashed out at Bhatt and Johar for nepotism in Bollywood.

They have in fact gone to the extent of accusing Johar and Bhatt as those responsible for lowering Sushant's morale (citing an episode of Koffee With Karan), who was trying to climb the ladder in tinsel town all by himself.
