In a new video, actor Kangana Ranaut has yet again spoken about actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death. She talks about the harm caused by blind items. The 'Simran' actor talked about Sushant's father, ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande, and filmmaker, and even read out a few blind items published about the actor by the media. Ranaut talked about herself, and how she was targeted by the media. She said she has never addressed it, but she did confront a journalist after they spoke “against freedom fighter” - Rani Laxmi Bai.
“I have never spoken about all that has been written about me but when they wrote ill about a freedom fighter, I confronted that journalist. And that overnight four senior journalists made a guild against me and declared that my film should be banned, flopped,” she said. “Three thousand journalists ganged up against one girl and the society doesn’t say anything, the law doesn’t say anything. I tried to file a case against them but they disappeared a month later, my film released and they disappeared,” she added.
She went on to ask why such blind items are never written against “nepo kids”. “Emotional, psychological, and mental lynching on an individual happens openly and we are all guilty of watching it silently. Is blaming the system enough? Will there ever be change? Are we going to see a monumental shift in the narrative on how outsiders are treated,” Kangana wrote.
Actor Sushant was found dead in his Bandra apartment last week. It is currently being treated as a suicide.
