Actress Kangana Ranaut has made yet another controversial statement, this time against actress Urmila Matondkar. In an interview to Times Now on Wednesday, Kangana called the Rangeela actress a ‘soft porn star’.
Kangana said, “I saw one very derogatory interview given by Urmila Matondkar. The way she was talking about me, pulling faces, making a mockery about my struggles, attacking me on the fact that I am trying to appease BJP for a ticket. One doesn’t have to be a genius to figure for me it is not very difficult to get a ticket. Urmila is a soft porn star. She is not known for her acting for sure, what is she known for? For doing soft porns right. If she could get a ticket, why wouldn’t I get a ticket?”
Urmila Matondkar had slammed Kangana for disrespecting veteran actress Jaya Bachchan who had objected to the entire film industry being ‘tarnished’, in her speech in Parliament. “When Kangana was not even born, Jaya ji was in the film industry. We’re talking about a lady here (Jaya Bachchan) who has herself been an icon. Which part of Indian culture tells you to lash out at people like this?”,” Urmila told NDTV.
After Kangana’s soft porn jibe, Bollywood celebrities are coming out in support of Urmila. Swara Bhasker tweeted words of appreciation for Urmila. “Dear @UrmilaMatondkar ji, remembering ur outstanding performances in Masoom, Chamatkaar, Rangeela, Judaai, Daud, Satya, Bhoot, Kaun, Jungle, Pyaar Tuney Kya Kiya, Tehzeeb, Pinjar, Ek Hasina Thi.. among others and have marvelled at your acting chops & brilliant dancing!
