Apart from that, she sure knows to call spade a spade and is very opinionated.

She often slams Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Hrithik Roshan and others over nepotism or allegedly being a part of 'Bollywood clubs'. But she has a completely different take on nepotism when it comes to Ekta Kapoor. She said that Ekta is the rightful heir of her father and veteran actor Jeetendra.

When Kangana was asked about her opinion on Ekta Kapoor who tries to make her place in the industry without using her father's name, she said, "Well people come with certain advantages and disadvantages in every situation. I've said that nepotism is not the issue here. We can't stop people from doing what they want to do. Ekta is the rightful heir of her father in every way of his name, fame, glory, his assets in every way and nobody can deny that and it should not be anybody's concern either, right? I mean, why should anybody object to that?"

Recalling a few instances on facing nepotism in the industry, Kangana further said, "I was told that please leave the film industry. They said, 'It is not for you' and you know, all that. So, there have been public showdowns where people have told me that I don't belong here. I was mocked for my English; I was mocked for coming from mountains. My journey through my journey, I've seen that."

"But I've never seen Ekta being part of any bully gang. She worked with me in my initial years. She's the first one to give me my first A-lister project. So for me, I have huge respect for her. And, of course, she has come up on her own and she's very, very successful as a woman and as a producer. She inspires me and I hold back. I always tell her that you are the prototype of how one should be if you grew up in privileged families," the actress shared on her bond with Ekta Kapoor.
