Kangana Ranaut is an ‘Okay’ actor, says Aditya Pancholi

Thanks to her explosive interview with Rajat Sharma, Kangana Ranaut grabbed a lot of headlines. It was right before the release of ‘Simran’ that Kangana made a lot of revelations about her personal life. She spoke about her relationship with Hrithik Roshan and Aditya Pancholi at length and created a huge stir in the industry. Now, we have Aditya sharing his side of the story at the November issue launch of Society Magazine.

He has given a lot of statements against Kangana and has stated that she is a nobody in the industry. He also called her an average actor and has said that she has called trouble for herself.

When asked about Kangana and the nepotism debate, he stated, “Tumko iss industry ne itna diya hai you should be thankful to God. Be nice to people and try to help people, instead of running behind seniors and producers and people from film fraternity.”

Further saying, “Who are you, you are nobody. You are an okay actor. Isse ache actors ‘Indian Idol’, ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’ mein aate hain. Voh chota bhagwan (contestant in ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’ L’it Champs) hai na, he is also a very good actor. Acha actor hai iska matlab yeh thodi na ki aap sabki band baja do. It’s not done.” (Also Read: Kangana Ranaut: I am prepared for all the fights that would come my way)

In fact, the senior actor also exclaimed that Kangana has no right to talk about nepotism. When asked why did she come out in open and speak about her personal life after so many years, he stated, “Mein toh sochta hoon, vo sab ‘Simran ‘ki wajah se ki. Dekhiye agar aisa karne se film chalti toh us mein toh subject ki kya zarurat hoti, stars ki kya zarurat hoti. Film aise nahi chalti. Sabko, Hrithik ko, mujhe, awards ko, women’s commission ko, Karan Johar ko, producers ko, nepotism ko… kisiko choda hai usne? Usko toh nepotism ke baare mein baat karne ka haq hi nahi hai. Mein toh yeh puchta hoon, usne apni life mein koi bhi ek audition diya ho ‘Gangster’ ke pehle toh voh bata de public ko.”

Then he quoted that he feels bad for Kangana for ruining all the good that she earned through hard work. “Afsoos hai ki usne yeh kiya. Survey ke hisaab se roz 8000 ladke/ladkiyan actor banne ke liye Mumbai mein aate hai. Saal mein kitna hota hai agar 8000 roz ho toh. Itna acha sab kuch hone ke bawajood, usne apne pair pe kulhadi maari, iss cheez ka bohot afsoos hai. Because jab vo struggle kar rahi thi, nayi nayi aayi thi, meine use cheez ko apne aankho se dekha hai. Usne use cheez ko ek hi moment mein usko khatam kar diya,” he said.
