Kangana Ranaut DISAPPROVES Alia Bhatt And Ranbir Kapoor's Big Win At Dadasaheb Phalke Awards; Says, ‘Nepo Mafia Is At It Again’
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have been basking in success since the couple won the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Award. Alia was honoured with the Best Actress Award for her exceptional performance as ‘Gangubai’ in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s directorial, Gangubai Kathiawadi while Ranbir was honoured with the Best Actor Award for his performance in Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva.

The entire internet and B-town rejoiced the couple’s big win at the recently held award ceremony. However, the national award winner wasn’t pleased with the results and she clapped back at the duo with two tweets which featured her taking a sly dig at Ranbir, Alia and even other winners at the awards.

In her tweet, Kangana opined that the South Indian actor, Rishab Shetty and gorgeous actress, Mrunal Thakur deserved to win the Best Actor and Best Actress awards at Dadasaheb Phalke Awards ceremony. She also added that Rishabh and Mrunal’s performances in Kantara and Sita Raman respectively were worth the win. 

Kangana Ranaut once again re-spawned the debate around nepotism and pointed out that it has snatched awards from deserving actors once again. Her tweet read: "Awards season is here and nepo mafia is at it again, snatching all awards from the deserving talent. Here’s a list of some of those who displayed volcanic artistic brilliance and owned 2022. Best Actor -Rishab Shetty (Kantara), Best Actress-Mrunal Thakur (Sita Raman), (Cont)."


In another tweet, Kangana proposed that Anupam Kher was the Best Supporting Actor for Kashmir Files and named Tabu as Best Supporting Actress for her work in Drishyam and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

However, what intrigued netizens was the fact that Kangana disapproved of the decision to give the Best Director Award to Vivek Agnihotri for Kashmir Files. The national award-winning actress admitted that SS Rajamouli was the rightful winner of the award for his film, RRR. Kangana also added that Bollywood awards ceremonies are a complete sham.  

Her tweet read: "Best director- SS Rajamouli (RRR), Best supporting actor- Anupam Kher (Kashmir Files), Best supporting actress- Tabu ( Drishyam/Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2), Bolly awards are a big sham … when I get some time from my schedule I will make a list of all those I feel are deserving … thanks."


Shortly after Kangana Ranaut shared her views on Twitter, a publication called her out and shared that her tweets as an outcome of ‘jealousy’. ALSO READ | WHAT!

However, she brushed off remarks and immediately sent out a befitting response. The actress shared a screengrab of an article on her Instagram story and wrote a small note in which she lashed out at a publication for calling her jealous. 

Her note read: "Jealous of changu mangus nepo pappus jinko aaj bhi mummy papa diapers pehnate hai… ha ha… try better PR next time."
