Kangana’s name had been mentioned quite many times on KWK as an option given to actors during the spicy Rapid Fire segment. This time, while sitting on the couch, the actor didn’t miss a chance to take a dig at the filmmaker, slyly accusing him of mocking her English with other actors on that very couch.
When the Kal Ho Naa Ho maker denied mocking her, Kangana chimed in, saying, “I’m so happy to hear this from you as well because you’ve been the driving force in my life. If it wasn’t for your rejections and mocking and all those… of course you made fun of my English on this and you made fun of everything. I’m not complaining about it. I’m just saying. Somewhere these things do drive you."
She also mentioned that Karan Johar is a star and that he has given her a lot of “unnecessary attitude". She went on to add, “In my biopic, if ever it’s made, you’ll play that stereotypical Bollywood biggie, who is like you know…very snooty and completely intolerant towards outsiders, flag bearer of nepotism, the movie mafia." A stumped Karan Johar summed up the episode saying, “Kangana has really attacked me on this show. I love that."
