Did Naseeruddin Shah Take A Dig At Kangana Ranaut? Says, 'Not Interested In Opinions Of Half Educated Starlet’
Kangana Ranaut has always been against the concept of insiders vs outsiders and nepotism, which as per her, is allegedly functioned by the 'movie mafia' of Bollywood. Her fierce opinions, however, aren't well-received by a lot of celebrities. The most recent star to bash the Queen actress is Naseeruddin Shah. In his interview with India Today, the veteran actor seems to have taken a dig at Kangana for using Sushant's death as her medium to remove 'frustrations' with the film industry. He also rubbished the debates by calling it 'bulls***'. As if that wasn't enough, Shah also alleged how no one is buying opinions a 'half educated starlet'.

The Wednesday actor said, “It is absolutely sickening. I have not followed it. I felt deeply grieved when the young man died. I did not know him but he had a bright future and it was a waste of a life. But I did not bother to follow the nonsense that’s being spouted by a whole lot of people. Every person who has any little frustration in his mind, in his heart, about the commercial industry, has been vomiting it out to the press. It is absolutely disgusting. I mean, keep these complaints to yourself, no one is interested." He added, "No one is interested in the opinions of some half educated starlet who decides to take it upon herself to, you know, get justice for Sushant. If there is justice that needs to be done, I think we need to have faith in the process of the law and if it is none of our business, I think we should not concern ourselves with it.”

Addressing the 'insider vs outsider' debate, he added, “I don’t understand this insider-outsider nonsense that’s going on. I mean, it’s a whole lot of rubbish and we should be put an end to this, it’s bulls***. Why would not I, who have had a secure happy life as an actor, encourage my son to go into the same profession? Would not an industrialist do it, would not a lawyer do it, would not a doctor not do it? Would not anybody do it? You mean to say that Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s descendents should not have become singers?"


He also dismissed the existence of 'movie mafia' by saying that he hasn't felt any kind of obstacle in getting the work he deserved.
