‘Manikarnika’ controversy: Sushmita Sen stands up for Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut starrer ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ has been surrounded by many controversies before and after its release. Earlier, the movie was in news because of Krish, the director and Sonu Sood’s exit from the film. Post release, Kangana got embroiled into a controversy because she was labelled as the primary director of the film and apparently chopped of scenes of other characters in the movie. Well, Kangana is not someone who stays mum. In many interviews, she has given clarifications.

In a recent interview, Kangana spoke on Bollywood actors not promoting or supporting her film ‘Manikarnika’. She also said that a group of actors in Bollywood have ganged up against because she spoke up against nepotism. Kangana even went on to say that she will expose everyone in the industry who has ganged up against her.

In an event, when Sushmita Sen was asked to comment on Kangana’s ‘Manikarnika’, the actress said, “I am so proud of Kangana. God bless her. It took courage to do what she did and single-handedly make a brilliant film. I wish her all the very best”

Not only Sushmita, a few days back, Anupam Kher took to his Twitter handle to praise Kangana’s work in the historical drama. Here’s his tweet.
