Kangana Ranaut has the entire Indian media at her tail as the Entertainment Journalists' Guild of India announced they would continue their ban on her till the time that the actor apologises for her spat with a reporter. Her sister and manager Rangoli Chandel tweeted a video where the actress can be seen talking about the India media.

Calmly poised in a white salwar suit, Ranaut said, "Today, I want to talk about the Indian media. Everywhere there are good people as well as bad people. The media often boosted and inspired me, I have found extremely good friends and guide in the media. They have a major role to play in my success and I am grateful to them."

"But a section of media in our section functions like termites who are attacking our country's grace, honour, unity, and integrity and often spreads rumours. Our constitution does not have any clause for them and I feel these people, so called 'liberals' are a threat. This journalist I met in Delhi, he has been making fun of my serious initiative - I campaigned for a ban on plastic recently and he ridiculed it, he also made fun of my campaign against animal cruelty."

She added, "These people are threatening to ban me, destroy my career. (laughs) Treacherous people, one doesn't need lakhs of rupees to buy you out, you people go crazy over Rs 50-60. You guys will destroy me? If things were according to pseudo journalists like you and the movie mafia, I wouldn't be the country's top actress and the highest paid actress, I ask you to please ban me, I do not want that there is no food at your home because of me."

Meanwhile, Balaji Telefilms and producer Ekta Kapoor has tweeted their apology for Kangana's spat with a journalist during a promotional event for their upcoming film 'Judgemental Hai Kya' and the Entertainment Journalists' Guild of India responded by saying that they accept the apology but would continue to boycott Kangana until the actor apologises.

The production house also expressed the hope the media will not "let this one incident hamper the team effort that has gone behind making the film."
