Kangana Ranaut has lashed out on actress Sonam Kapoor following her statements on the Vikas Bahl sexual harassment case. Speaking in-depth about the #MeToo movement in Bollywood, Kapoor addressed the case saying, “I think Kangana wrote something. Kangana is obviously Kangana Ranaut. She says a lot of stuff and sometimes it is hard to take her seriously. I love the fact that she has spunk and she says what she believes. I really respect her for that. I don't know him, I don't know the situation. If what is written is true, then it's disgusting and awful. If it's true, then they should be punished for it.”
Ranaut has accused Bahl of misconduct, claiming the director “would bury his face in my neck, hold me really tight and breathe in the smell of my hair.” Now, she issued a statement against Sonam, saying, “What does she mean by saying 'it's hard to believe Kangana? When I am sharing my MeToo story, who gives her a right to judge me? So Sonam Kapoor has the license of trusting some women and some she won't. What makes her so unsure of my claims, I am known to be an articulate person, I have represented my country in many international summits, I am called as a thought and youth influencer to these summits, I am not known because of my dad. I have earned my place and credibility after struggling for a decade. She isn't known to be a great actress, neither she has the reputation of being a good speaker. What gives these filmy people right to take digs at me?”
Bahl is one of many in the industry who are currently under fire for harassment or misconduct. All hell broke loose for him after an ex-employee of Phantom Films revealed she was sexually harassed by production house's co-partner in 2015.
