After Poking Fun At Kangana Ranaut, Varun Dhawan Backs The ‘Queen’

Varun Dhawan recently invited the ire of fans of Kangana Ranaut when he and Karan Johar poked fun at her comments on nepotism, but during the Jagran Cinema Summit, Varun backed her statement, but also defended Johar.

While at the Summit, when asked to comment on Karan and nepotism, Varun said, “Who all has he (Johar) launched? Star kids only, right? So how is it an allegation? It is a fact, right? However, he has also launched a lot of directors also, like Shashank Khaitan, who is a dear friend. He is from Nashik and he had nothing to do with films. He just gave his script to Karan and Karan wanted to make a film with him. Karan has also made a film titled Gippy. He launched a girl with that too. Sidharth (Malhotra), he is also not a star-kid, but Karan launched him also.”

Varun went on to add, “So, what Kangana is saying is right, but this whole thing is too blown up. I think she was trying to get her point across in her way, but people really stretched it too much. Such things happen in the fraternity!”

Varun will be next seen in Shoojit Sircar’s October.
